• Albino midrib 1, encoding a putative potassium efflux antiporter, affects chloroplast development and drought tolerance in rice., 2014, Plant Cell Rep.

Genbank accession number

• Interestingly, AM1 was induced by salt and PEG, and am1 showed enhanced sensitivity to salinity in seed germination and increased tolerance to drought
• We found that AM1 encoded a putative KEA in chloroplast
• Chloroplast gene expression and proteins accumulation were affected during chlorophyll biosynthesis and photosynthesis in am1 mutants
• Mutation of the AM1 gene causes an albino midrib phenotype and enhances tolerance to drought in rice K(+) efflux antiporter (KEA) genes encode putative potassium efflux antiporters that are mainly located in plastid-containing organisms, ranging from lower green algae to higher flowering plants
