Rice Genome Editing Database

Gene Name: OsMPK5

About Gene:

The protein this gene encodes- MAPK, a stress-responsive rice mitogen-activated protein kinase. (1)

Function: Contributes to differential protein activation by promoting SA biosynthesis and repressing JA response and thus promoting SA/JA cross talk. SA pathway promotes resistance against pathogens with a biotrophic lifestyle, whereas JA stimulates positive signals to activate defenses against necrotrophic pathogens and herbivorous insects. (2)
