It has been suggested that caffeine acts as an allelochemical which influences the germination and growth of plants. The effect of caffeine on the expression profiles of proteins was investigated in shoot-root axes of rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis
The regulation of proline accumulation in seedlings of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Badami) was investigated. The increasing concentration of NaCl from 0.5 to 2.5% progressively increased the proline content in rice. Proline accumulation caused by NaCl was related to protein proteolysis, an increase in
Effects of ethylene on free polyamine biosynthesis in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv Taichung Native 1) coleoptiles were investigated in sealed and aerobic conditions. In sealed conditions, putrescine increased significantly and coincided with ethylene accumulation. Application of ethylene in sealed
Ornithine δ-aminotransferase (δ-OAT) is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme that has been proposed to be involved in proline (Pro) and arginine (Arg) metabolism. However, the actual role of δ-OAT in abiotic responses in plants remains to be clarified. Here we characterized an ornithine
The results showed that the activities of Agrinine decarboxylase(ADC), Ornithine decarboxylase(ODC) and s-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase(SAMDC) were increased by 165.74%, 104.60% and 89.60% in the leaves of Shan You63(Sy63) and by 59.91%, 41.30% and 23.68% in the leaves of Nancheum(NC). Only ADC
2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) was identified as the major flavor compound in aromatic rice varieties Tainung 71 and 72. In order to understand the mechanism of 2-AP biosynthesis in aromatic rice, we studied the formation of putative precursors, Delta(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid and methylglyoxal.
Submergence and treatment with ethylene or gibberellic acid (GA3) stimulates rapid growth in internodes of deepwater rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. "Habiganj Aman II"). This growth is based on greatly enhanced rate of cell-division activity in the intercalary meristem (IM) and on increased cell
Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development, and its reduced bioavailability strongly impairs mitochondrial functionality. In this work, the metabolic adjustment in the rice (Oryza sativa) mitochondrial Fe transporter knockdown mutant (mit-2) was analysed. Biochemical
Given the substantial changes in mitochondrial gene expression, the mitochondrial proteome, and respiratory function during rice (Oryza sativa) germination under anaerobic and aerobic conditions, we have attempted to identify changes in mitochondrial membrane transport capacity during these
We investigated whether down-regulation of arginine decarboxylase (ADC) activity and concomitant changes in polyamine levels result in changes in the expression of downstream genes in the polyamine pathway. We generated transgenic rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants in which the rice adc gene was
Regulation of proline accumulation in seedlings of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Lunishree) was investigated. The increasing concentration of NaCl from 85 mM to 425 mM NaCl progressively increased proline content in rice. The maximum increase in proline content was recorded at 425 mM NaCl concentration
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food for the majority of the world's population. Rice fragrance, aroma, or scent is not just a cooking quality, but also an eating quality of rice. Rice fragrance is a trait that is widely desired among rice consumers. Consequently, rice producers are sorting for
Plants respond to adverse environment by initiating a series of signaling processes including activation of transcription factors that can regulate expression of arrays of genes for stress response and adaptation. NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) is a plant specific transcription factor family with diverse
A selection of 21 rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica and japonica) was characterized under moderate long-term drought stress by comprehensive physiological analyses and determination of the contents of polyamines and selected metabolites directly related to polyamine metabolism. To
Accumulation of proline in response to excess Cu was studied in detached leaves of rice (Oryza sativa). CuSO(4) was effective in inducing proline accumulation in detached rice leaves under both light and dark conditions. CuSO(4) and CuCl(2) were equally effective in inducing proline accumulation,
