Quantitative trait loci for grain mineral element accumulation in Vietnamese rice landraces. by Hien Linh Tran, Giang Thi Hoang, Nhung Thi Phuong Phung, Ham Huy Le, Alexandre Grondin, Pascal Gantet

“…LOC_Os10g30610, present in qRAs10-1 associated with arsenic content in brown rice, encodes an ABC transporter (OsABCG25), which is involved in the silicon-induced formation of the Casparian strip in the rice exodermis and could act as a barrier restricting As diffusion within the root cortex. LOC_Os05g04330, present in qRP5-1 and associated with phosphorus content in brown rice, encodes a CHH methylation maintenance protein, and its expression is downregulated in roots in the presence of the phosphorus uptake 1 (Pup1), suggesting a role for epigenetics in the regulation of phosphorus uptake and accumulation in grain. …”
