Abstract

A rice cDNA library was screened using OSK3 protein kinase as bait in a yeast two-hybrid system. The gene encoding oxalate oxidase was one of the positive clones interacting with OSK3 protein kinase. The interactions were verified by detecting expression of the reporter gene lacZ. The results suggest that oxalate oxidase is a downstream element in the disease resistance signal cascade mediated by OSK3 protein kinase in rice.
