Physical Mapping of the Sequences Homologous to Disease Resistance Genes myb1 and NDR1 in Maize

Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, the authors investigated the homology between three plant species, maize (Zea mays L.) and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), maize and Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. at cytogenetic level using two probes corresponding to functional disease resistance genes myb1 and NDR1 in Arabidopsis and tobacco respectively. The hybridization signals of the tested probes were detected in maize chromosomes 8 and 5 respectively, and the single location of each of the two probes showed only single copy of them in maize genome. The results provided a valuable insight into searching for genes associated with programmed cell death in plants using heterologous probe with comparative genetic approach. In addition, the improvements of FISH technique using heterologous probes were discussed.     

Overexpression of the Arabidopsis thaliana MinD1 gene alters chloroplast size and number in transgenic tobacco plants

The Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. minD gene (AtMinD1) was isolated and constitutively expressed in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants using the CaMV 35S promoter. Confocal and electron-microscopic analysis of the AtMinD1 transgenic tobacco lines revealed that the chloroplasts were abnormally large and fewer in number compared with wild-type tobacco plants. The abnormal chloroplasts were less prevalent in guard cells than in mesophyll cells. Chloroplast and nuclear gene expression was not significantly different in AtMinD1-overexpressing plants relative to wild-type tobacco plants. Chloroplast DNA copy number was not affected, based on the relative level of the rbcL gene in transgenic plants. Transgenic tobacco plants constitutively overexpressing AtMinD1 were completely normal phenotypically with respect to growth and development, and also displayed normal photosynthetic electron transport rates. These results show that the Arabidopsis MinD1 gene also functions in a heterologous system and confirm the role of the MinD protein in regulation of chloroplast division.     

Isolation and Expression Pattern Analysis of Two Ferritin Genes in Tobacco

For understanding of the ferritin gene expression pattern and the mechanism of iron homeostasis in tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum L.) plants, two full-length ferritin cDNAs, NtFerl and NtFer2, were isolated from tobacco seedlings and characterized. These cDNAs are 1 214 and 1 125 bp nucleotides and encode 25 1 and 259 amino acid residues, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequences showed that two tobacco ferritins share the same characteristics as the plant ferritins from Arabidopsis, soybean, and maize.Southern blotting analysis indicated that both NtFerl and NtFer2 were probably multicopy genes in the tobacco genome. Northern blotting analysis indicated that iron loading of tobacco plantlets increased the ferritin mRNA abundance and that NtFerl expression was higher and more sensitive to iron than NtFer2expression. Furthermore, NtFerl was expressed in both leaves and roots, whereas NtFer2 was expressed mainly in leaves.

Rearrangement of the genes for the biosynthesis of benzoxazinones in the evolution of Triticeae species

Gramineous plants, including the major agricultural crops wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), rye (Secale cereale L.) and maize (Zea mays L.), accumulate benzoxazinones (Bxs) as defensive compounds. Previously, we isolated cDNAs of the Bx biosynthetic genes in wheat, TaBx2- TaBx5, that encode the enzymes catalyzing the sequential hydroxylation of indole to Bxs. In this study we isolated a cDNA of TaBx1, which encodes the first enzyme of the Bx pathway of wheat. The level of identity (80%) in deduced amino-acid sequence between TaBx1 and the corresponding maize gene Bx1 was as high as those shown between TaBx2- TaBx5 and the corresponding maize genes Bx2- Bx5, respectively. Southern blot analysis using the TaBx1- TaBx5 cDNAs as probes was conducted with aneuploid lines of hexaploid wheat in order to determine sub-chromosomal locations of the five Bx biosynthetic genes in Triticeae species. In wheat, TaBx1 and TaBx2 co-existed in specific regions of chromosomes 4A, 4B and 4D, and TaBx3- TaBx5 were localized together in the distal regions of the short arms of chromosomes 5A, 5B and 5D. TaBx3 and TaBx5 were found to have duplicated loci in the long arm and the short arm of chromosome 5B, respectively. In rye, homoeoloci of TaBx1 and TaBx2 were located on chromosome 7R and those for TaBx3- TaBx5 were located on chromosome 5R. In barley, no Southern blot band was detected with any of the probes under the highly stringent hybridization conditions, suggesting that the non-Bx phenotype of barley is attributable to the loss of Bx biosynthetic genes.     

Interspecies compatibility of NAS1 gene promoters.

Nicotianamine and nicotianamine synthase (NAS) play key roles in iron nutrition in all higher plants. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of NAS expression differs among plant species. Sequences homologous to iron deficiency-responsive elements (IDEs), i.e., cis-acting elements, are found on the promoters of these genes. We aimed to verify the interspecies compatibility of the Fe-deficiency response of NAS1 genes and understand the universal mechanisms that regulate their expression patterns in higher plants. Therefore, we introduced the graminaceous (Hordeum vulgare L. and Oryza sativa L.) NAS1 promoter::GUS into dicots (Nicotiana tabacum L. and Arabidopsis thaliana L.). Fe deficiency induced HvNAS1 expression in the shoots and roots when introduced into rice. HvNAS1 promoter::GUS and OsNAS1 promoter::GUS induced strong expression of GUS under Fe-deficient conditions in transformed tobacco. In contrast, these promoters only definitely functioned in Arabidopsis transformants. These results suggest that some Fe nutrition-related trans-factors are not compatible between graminaceous plants and Arabidopsis. HvNAS1 promoter::GUS induced GUS activity only in the roots of transformed tobacco under Fe-deficient conditions. On the other hand, OsNAS1 promoter::GUS induced GUS activity in both the roots and shoots of transformed tobacco under conditions of Fe deficiency. In tobacco transformants, the induction of GUS activity was induced earlier in the shoots than roots. These results suggest that the HvNAS1 and OsNAS1 promoters are compatible with Fe-acquisition-related trans-factors in the roots of tobacco and that the OsNAS1 promoter is also compatible with some shoot-specific Fe deficiency-related trans-factors in tobacco.
