Os08g0189200

The rice Os08g0189200 was reported as OsGLP8 in 2009 by researchers from the USA.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os08g0189200 <=> OsGLP8

Function

• Challenge with two different fungal pathogens (causal agents of rice blast and sheath blight diseases) revealed that as more chr 8 OsGLP genes were suppressed, disease susceptibility of the plants increased. Of the 12 chr 8 OsGLPs, one clustered subfamily (OsGER4) contributed most to resistance.

RNAi

• A highly conserved portion of the OsGLP coding region was used as an RNA interference trigger to silence a few to all expressed chr 8 OsGLP family members.
