- Abstract Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major component of plant storage lipids such as oils. Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the final step of the Kennedy pathway, and is mainly responsible for plant oil accumulation. We previously found that the activity of Vernonia DGAT1 was distinctively higher than that of Arabidopsis and soybean DGAT1 in a yeast microsome assay. In this study, the DGAT1 cDNAs of Arabidopsis, Vernonia, soybean, and castor bean were introduced into Arabidopsis. All Vernonia DGAT1-expressing lines showed a significantly higher oil content (49% mean increase compared with the wild-type) followed by soybean and castor bean. Most Arabidopsis DGAT1-overexpressing lines did not show a significant increase. In addition to these four DGAT1 genes, sunflower, Jatropha, and sesame DGAT1 genes were introduced into a TAG biosynthesis-defective yeast mutant. In the yeast expression culture, DGAT1s from Arabidopsis, castor bean, and soybean only slightly increased the TAG content; however, DGAT1s from Vernonia, sunflower, Jatropha, and sesame increased TAG content >10-fold more than the former three DGAT1s. Three amino acid residues were characteristically common in the latter four DGAT1s. Using soybean DGAT1, these amino acid substitutions were created by site-directed mutagenesis and substantially increased the TAG content.Oxford University Press (OUP), Mar. 2022, Journal of Experimental Botany, 73(9) (9), 3030 - 3043[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Internodes of floating rice (Oryza sativa L.) elongate rapidly when treated with gibberellic acid (GA3) . When p-coumaric or ferulic acid was applied to floating rice stem segments that had been induced to elongate rapidly by treatment with GA3, the extent of internodal elongation decreased in a dose-dependent manner; in particular, ferulic acid was more effective. Application of p-coumaric or ferulic acid also increased the contents of p-coumaric, ferulic and 5-5-diferulic acids in the cell walls of the internodal elongation zone. In these stem segments, the content of ferulic or 5-5-diferulic acid showed a higher correlation with the decrease in internodal elongation compared with the content of p-coumaric acid. These facts suggest that the deposition of ferulic and 5-5-diferulic acids in cell walls is one of the causes of the reduction of internodal elongation in floating rice.Japanese Society for Tropical Agriculture, 2005, Japanese Journal of Tropical Agriculture, 49(3) (3), 215 - 219, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Appropriate and effective nitrogen (N) use is an important factor to realize the sustainable rice production and to avoid environmental pollution. In this study, the low N conditions were induced by two different treatments; the restricted supply of N fertilizer by soil culture and the sudden depression of N by water culture. The growth responses of eight varieties of indica rice to low N supply were analyzed using fundamental growth parameters and specific nitrogen utilization rate (NUR) . The relative growth rate (RGR) was generally higher in the local varieties than improved varieties in both experiments. The net assimilation rate (NAR) showed a close correlation with RGR, whereas the specific leaf area and leaf weight ratio did not. A highly positive correlation was found between RGR and NUR. Among the local varieties, Pokkali showed the highest RGR, NAR and NUR in both experiments. These results indicated that under low N supply, the growth rates of the local varieties were higher than those of the improved varieties due to their higher NAR and NUR.Japanese Society of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Engineers and Scientists, 2002, Environmental Control in Biology, 40(2) (2), 195 - 200, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The in vivo photosynthetic performance of indica rice (eight varieties) leaves at varying nitrogen supply levels in solution culture and possible role of ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) in regulating photosynthesis were studied. In all the varieties studied, a linear correlation was observed between the oxygen evolution rate (OER) and Rubisco amounts less than 2g m-2. The OER tended to become saturated at Rubisco levels higher than 2 g m-2. Among the traditional and improved varieties, Pokkali, Baisbish and IR 442-2-58 showed a high OER/Rubisco ratio. Based on our regression fitting, the rice varieties were classified into high or low Rubisco efficiency group.Japanese Society for Tropical Agriculture, 2002, Japanese Journal of Tropical agriculture, 46(3) (3), 161 - 165, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- In floating rice, internodal elongation is markedly promoted under submergence. The increase in the supply of photoassimilates to the rapidly elongating internodes is essential for floating rice grown under submergence. Our objectives were to analyze the changes in the sink activity of each organ and in the distribution pattern of photoassimilates to each organ immediately after submergence, using 13C as a tracer. Also, the rate of sucrose formation was determined in order to investigate the effect of submergence on the source activity. In the present study, the plants in which the source organ was restricted to the first expanded leaf attached above the uppermost internode were used. The translocation of carbon to the uppermost internode was promoted immediately after submergence. In contrast, submergence depressed the increase of dry weight and the percentage distribution of labelled carbon in the lower organs. Therefore, these results indicate that floating rice plants modify the distribution pattern of photoassimilates to promote growth under submergence, and that these characteristics may enable floating rice to utilize efficiently the photoassimilates in order to survive under deep water. Submergence led to a sizeable increase in the sucrose/starch ratio of the first expanded leaf attached above the rapidly elongating uppermost internode. These results suggest that submergence increases the source activity in the upper leaves above the water surface. This assumption was consistent with the increase of the photosynthetic rate per unit leaf area of the uppermost expanded leaf above the water surface under submergence reported previously.Japanese Society for Tropical Agriculture, 1995, Tropical Agriculture and Development, 39(3) (3), 177 - 183, English

- When floating rice (Oryza sativa L. cv Habiganj Aman II) plants are grown under submergence, the levels of endogenous gibberellin and ethylene increase. We examined the role of gibberellin in the increase of the level of endogenous ethylene in the internodes of floating rice. When excised stem sections were treated with gibberellic acid in ambient air or in water, internodal elongation and ethylene production were induced. Also, the activities of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase and ethylene-forming enzyme were stimulated in the internodes. In stem sections submerged in a solution of 0.1 mM ancymidol, an inhibitor of gibberellin biosynthesis, internodal elongation and ethylene level in the internodes were reduced to about half and two-thirds, respectively, compared with stem sections submerged in distilled water. These results indicate that gibberellin has a promotive effect on ethylene synthesis in floating rice internodes.Lead, Japanese Society for Tropical Agriculture, 1994, Japanese Journal of Tropical Agriculture, 38(1) (1), 78 - 82, English[Refereed]

- The effects of several plant hormones on the internodal elongation of stem sections and endogenous levels of gibberellin in submerged and ethylene-treated stem sections were investigated in floating rice (Oryza sativa L. cv Habiganj Aman II) . Gibberellic acid (GA3) and ethylene induced internodal elongation of stem sections. Abscisic acid (ABA) and benzyl adenine (BA) at any concentration (≤ 1 mM) did not promote the internodal elongation of the sections regardless of the presence of GA3. However, indoleacetic acid (IAA) (0.1 to 10 μM) promoted the internodal elongation induced by GA3. Submergence increased the endogenous level of gibberellin in the stem sections unlike ethylene. It is suggested that gibberellin and ethylene as well as IAA may be involved in the internodal elongation of floating rice. Also, both gibberellin and ethylene may be involved in different processes of internodal elongation of floating rice under submergence.Lead, Japanese Society for Tropical Agriculture, 1990, Japanese Journal of Tropical Agriculture, 34(4) (4), 271 - 275, English[Refereed]
- Internodal elongation and endogenous ethylene concentration were analysed in floating or deep water rice stem sections submerged at different water depths. The elongation rate of the internodes was independent of the water depth. Elongation rate and ethylene concentration of the internodes were high in the stem sections submerged completely in water, but they decreased when parts of the stem sections were above the water surface. In the stem sections previously submerged, in which the ethylene levels were high, internodal elongation continued after parts of the sections were exposed to ambient air even though the ethylene levels decreased. These results suggest that internodal elongation is independent of the water pressure and that the different concentrations of internodal ethylene partially reflect the difference in the diffusion rate of ethylene in water. They also suggest that ethylene acts as a trigger of internodal elongation.Lead, Japanese Society for Tropical Agriculture, 1990, Japanese Journal of Tropical Agriculture, 34(4) (4), 265 - 270, English[Refereed]

We examined photosynthetic rates and properties of dry matter production in BC2F1-BC2F4 lines. In BC2F1 populations, several lines had significantly higher photosynthetic rates (OER) than parental cultivars, and 14-25% of plants in the populations had higher OERs than the highest values in parental cultivars. These higher OERs showed positive correlation with the contents of Rubisco and/or Rubisco activase. Four lines of BC2F4 were generated by backcrossing wild rice with cultivar Nipponbare. The photosynthetic rates under saturated light and ambient air conditions in these 4 lines were average 7% higher than Nipponbare. Also, the grain yield per plant of BC2F4 lines were average 16% higher These results suggest that O.rufipogon can be used as a source of germplasm to improve the photosynthetic capacity and grain yield of O.sativa. In order to identify useful QTL alleles from wild rice relatives, we backcrossed with two typical rice cultivars, japonica Nipponbare and indica IR36. In the BC2 generation, several characters including photosynthetic activity were evaluated, and single-point QTL analysis was carried out using 74 microsatellite markers. From these analysis, two wild QTL alleles increasing photosynthetic activity was detected. The present results suggest that the wild QTL alleles are very useful in improving photosynthetic function and yield of rice.

- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Kobe University, 1997 - 1998response to high-salt stress in Halophyte cellsHalophyte plants are able to grow under high saline environments. For examining cellular response of Halophyte cells to salt stress, cultured cells from 3 Atriplex species ; 1 entiformis (AL), halimus (AH) and halimus (AH) were treated with and without 0.2M NaCl, and polypeptide patterns were analyzed by 2-D electrophoresis. Significant increase of polypeptide spot were detected in insoluble protein fractions of salt treated Atriplex cells on NEPHGE/SDS electrophoresis. A polypeptide named SP1 was with a molecular mass of 27 kDa with pI over 8.5. The polypeptide was glycoprotein with Con A binding activity. Eluted proteins from electrophoretic spot of LH were used for antibody preparation by mice and N-terminal amino acid sequencing. mRNA were isolated from salt-treated LH cells and cDNA library was prepared, and library screening were done using a probe, which amplified by PCR on primers constructed from N-terminal amino-acid sequences. We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a full length cDNA for SP1 and submitted on the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases (AB024338). Reduced amino acid sequences reveals that SP1 is 224-AA, 24 kDa and pI=9.72. A search of the GenBank data base for SP1 amino acid sequence showed similarity to Germin and oxalate-oxidase.
- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C), Kobe University, 1994 - 1995Activation Mechanisms in Rice PhotosynthesisWe investigated the activation mechanisms of rice photosynthesis in relation to Rubisco activase. (1) We purified Rubisco activase from rice leaves, and showed the existence of this enzyme in rice leaves. (2) The amounts of Rubisco activase and Rubisco, and several photosynthetic characteristics in rice plants grown under different nitrogen concentrations and light intensities were investigated. The amounts of Rubisco activase increased linearly with increasing nitrogen supply regardless of the growing light conditions, whereas that of Rubisco increased slightly under the shade condition. The amount of Rubisco activase was almost linearly correlated to the maximum rate of photosynthetic oxygen evolution and the carboxylation efficiency, an indicator of in vivo Rubisco activity. (3) Photosynthetic activity (OER) and the amounts of leaf constituents were investigated in a rice leaf in relation to its aging. The changing pattern of Rubisco activase content was most remarkable among the leaf constituents examined. The OER depended linearly on the Rubisco content below the value of 3 g m^<-2>, but tended to saturate above this value. On the contrary, the amount of Rubisco activase and the OER were linearly correlated during the life span of the leaf. Therefore, the in vivo Rubisco activity can be restricted by Rubisco activase content.
- 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 一般研究(C), 神戸大学, 1993 - 1993浮稲における光合成産物の動態と伸長の調節機構浮稲は主として節間を伸長させることで深水に対応している.この急激な節間伸長の開始と同時に,光合成産物のシンクとソースのバランスを個体の生長に有利になるように変化させていくことが必要になる.本研究では,深水下における同化産物の転流と分配のの変化を明らかにするため,特定の葉に供与した安定同位体炭素の部位別の経時的変化と数種の転流関連の酵素活性を調べた.また,浮稲の節間伸長の機構を探る目的で,明暗両条件下での深水による節間空隙内のガス組成の変化を調べた. 5時間の同化期間中にラベルされた炭素は供与した葉と最上位の伸長中の葉に最も多く分布するが,深水下の24時間後には伸長し始めた最上位の節間部に多く分配された.また,これらの部位のシュクロース/デンプン比が深水下で大きくなり,葉のシュクロースホスフェイトシンターゼ活性と伸長中の節間を含む茎部のシュクロースシンターゼ活性も深水により増加した.これらの結果から,深水下の浮稲において,シンクである伸長中の節間の同化産物の要求量が高まると同時にソースである葉身のシュクロース形成率が高くなり,同化産物の転流が増大するものと考えられた. 浮稲茎切片を用いて明暗両条件下で深水処理した結果,明条件下では節間伸長するが暗条件下では伸長しなかった.明条件下では酸素と二酸化炭素濃度はほとんど変化せず,エチレン濃度は顕著に上昇した.暗条件下では酸素濃度が低下し,二酸化炭素とエチレン濃度は上昇した.また,暗条件下で酸素を供給すると節間の伸長が認められた.以上の結果から,従来から考えられてきた節間空隙内のエチレン濃度の上昇に酸素濃度の低下は必要なく,むしろ旺盛な節間伸長には多量の酸素の供給が不可欠であることを明らかにした.

The cytokinin induced callus has a high embryogenic potetial and is very useful for clonal propagation. As cytokinin, 2-isopentenyl-adenine(2iP)is the best, and benzyladenin(BA), zeatin and kinetin also are effective for somatic embryogenesis from coffee leaf slices. Additional auxins act inhibitory effect on somatic embryogenesis. Protoplast were prepared from embryogenic calluses from C.arabica and canephora and cultured on Gelrite medium with cytokinin as a plant regulator. Somatic embryos were regenerated from protoplasts. These simplified method for preparation and culture of protoplasts is very useful for cell fusion and genetic engeering. Somatic embryos of Coffea were successfully cryopreserved after being exposed to a series of preparative steps ; precultured on media with increasing concentration of sucrose, encapsulated in alginate beads, dehydrated up to 30% and pluged into liquid nitrogen.
