Expression of SERK family receptor-like protein kinase genes in rice

Biochim Biophys Acta. 2005 Sep 25;1730(3):253-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bbaexp.2005.06.007.

Abstract

Some SERK-family receptor-like protein kinase genes have been shown to confer embryonic competence to cells. In this study, we isolated two novel rice genes, OsSERK1 and OsSERK2, belonging to the SERK-family. OsSERK2 showed constitutive expression. The OsSERK1 promoter showed reporter gene activities in some specific tissues in a germinating seed, leaf and root, but not in a developing embryo. This promoter activity suggests that OsSERK1 may have roles in non-embryonic tissues rather than in the embryo.
