The rice gene Os06g0108600 was reported as OsEXPA17 in 2011[1] by researchers from China and Korea.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

  • Os06g0108600 <=> OsEXPA17, OsEXP17, osaEXPa1.31

Function

  • The gene OsEXPA17 encodes EXPA17 which is a member of the root hair EXPA sub-clade play a crucial role in root hair cell elongation in Graminaceae.

Mutation

Figure 1. Phenotypic characterization of the short root hair mutant. [1].
  • Suppression of OsEXPA17 by RNA interference confirmed requirement for the gene in root hair elongation. Complementation of the OsEXPA17 mutant with other root hair EXPAs (OsEXPA30 and Arabidopsis EXPA7) can restore root hair elongation, indicating functional conservation of these root hair EXPAs in monocots and dicots.
