Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g05390
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0147400
• Gene Symbol: Z3
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• These results suggest that leaf variegation in the Z3 mutant is caused by an unbalanced accumulation of citrate in a transverse pattern in the leaves.
• Taking these results together, we propose that Z3 plays an important role in citrate transport and distribution during leaf development and is a possible candidate for a CitMHS family member in plants.
• Map-based cloning revealed that the Z3 locus encodes a putative citrate transporter that belongs to the citrate-metal hydrogen symport (CitMHS) family.
• To investigate whether Z3 acts as a citrate transporter in rice, we measured citrate levels in wild-type leaves and in the dark-green and green sectors of the leaves of Z3 mutants.
