Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os01g53880
• RAPdb gene ID: Os01g0741900
• Gene Symbol: IAA6 OsIAA6
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• A knock-down mutant of OsIAA6 showed abnormal tiller outgrowth, apparently due to the regulation of the auxin transporter OsPIN1 and the rice tillering inhibitor OsTB1.
• Our results confirm that the OsIAA6 gene is involved in drought stress responses and the control of tiller outgrowth.
• In this study we found that the rice Aux/IAA gene OsIAA6 is highly induced by drought stress and that its overexpression in transgenic rice improved drought tolerance, likely via the regulation of auxin biosynthesis genes.
• We observed that OsIAA6 was specifically expressed in the axillary meristem of the basal stem, which is the tissue that gives rise to tillers.
