Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os12g03899
• RAPdb gene ID: Os12g0133100
• Gene Symbol: OsVMT OsZIFL12
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• At the vegetative stage, knockout of OsVMT resulted in decreased DMA but increased ferric Fe in the root cell sap.
• The expression of OsVMT was induced by Fe deficiency in the roots but not in the shoot basal region and uppermost node.
• OsVMT is highly expressed in the parenchyma cell bridges of node I where Fe and Zn are highly deposited.
• Taken together, our results indicate that OsVMT is involved in sequestering DMA into the vacuoles and that knockout of this gene enhances accumulation of Fe and Zn in polished rice grains through DMA-increased solubilization of Fe and Zn deposited in the node.
