Tobacco plants were transformed with a Nhap type Na /H antiporter gene, SynnhaP1 (slr1595), from a cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Two kinds of promoters, Arabidopsis alcohol dehydrogenase gene promoter (Adh promoter) and CaMV 35S promoter (35S promoter), were used. The transgenic plants driven by Adh promoter accumulated SynNhaP1 proteins only in root whereas the transgenic plants driven by 35S promoter accumulated SynNhaP1 proteins in all tissues. Confocal imaging of SynNhaP1-GFP fusion protein suggests the intracellular localization of SynNhaP1 in plasma membrane. Transgenic plants exhibited higher germination yields, increased biomass during developmental stage, increased seed production, and decreased intracellular Na content under salt-stress conditions. The transgenic plants driven by Adh promoter exhibited similar or slightly higher salt tolerance than that by 35S promoter. These results indicate the importance of expression of Na /H antiporter in root for salt tolerance in plant.

On the biotransformation of phenol and monofluorophenols by the cultured cells of Eucalyptus perriniana, phenyl and fluorophenyl b-D-glucosides were isolated after a 1-h incubation. Especially, the yield of 2-fluorophenol is higher than those of the other substrates, i.e., phenol, 3and 4-fluorophenols. These results indicated that E. perriniana cells selectively glycosylate the hydroxyl group o...

The bZIP transcription factors are involved in various aspects of plant development. Studies of bZIP group I genes in several species have indicated that they may play a role in vascular development. In order to elucidate the functions of Arabidopsis bZIP group I genes in vascular development, the expression pattern of seven AtbZIP group I genes, AtbZIP18, 29, 30, 51, 52, 59, and 69, were exami...

An extra copy of a rice pistil chitinase gene, termed chip, which is expressed predominantly in floral organs just before anthesis, was introduced into an economically important cultivar of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Koshihikari) together with the hygromycin-resistance gene (hph) as a marker gene by co-transformation. Over 100 regenerated rice plants (R0) and their self-pollinated first and seco...

Homologues of the flavonoid 3 ,5 -hydroxylase (F3 5 H) gene, a key gene determining flower color, were obtained from a Verbena hybrida (verbena) cultivar Temari Violet, verbena cultivar Tapien Pink, and Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea). The expression of the Temari and butterfly pea homologues in yeast confirmed that they encoded F3 5 H. The two genes under the control of an enhanced cauliflow...

To establish a transient gene expression system for investigating the molecular function of genes in mature wheat seeds, we bombarded embryos or aleurones of three hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties Chinese Spring, RL4137 and OS21-5, two diploid wheat (T. monococcum L.) varieties KT3-1 and KT3-5 and a barley (Hordeum vulgare, L.) variety Himalaya with fusion constructs containing ...
