It has been hypothesized that xylanase inhibitors play important roles in plant defense against microbial pathogens. Currently, there is little information available about xylanase inhibitor OsXIP in rice and its gene expression. We cloned a xylanase inhibitor gene OsXIP from rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare) genomic DNA. To determine the function of OsXIP, we generated OsXIP-overexpressing transgenic rice plants. The transgenic plants had significantly higher OsXIP expression and showed enhanced defense response to Magnaporthe oryzae compared to the wild-type plants. The results also showed that the increased OsXIP expression was accompanied by the up-regulation of pathogenesisrelated genes. To clarify the OsXIP expression pattern, a ProOsXIP::GUS vector was constructed and transgenic plants were obtained. GUS staining results revealed that OsXIP showed organ-specific expressions in rice plants. OsXIP was primarily expressed in the roots and in the veins, but it was weakly expressed in the leaves. Analyses of the OsXIP expression in response to biotic and abiotic stresses indicated that it was drastically induced by biotic stresses and methyl jasmonate treatment. OsXIP, a member of a new class of antifungal proteins, may function as a barrier that prevents the cell wall degradation by xylanases excreted by fungal pathogens. The OsXIP was found to be a stressresponsive gene and it could take part in plant defense via a JA-mediated signaling pathway. 相似文献

The gene encoding a cowpea trypsin inhibitor (CpTI), which confers insect resistance in trangenic tobacco, was introduced into rice. Expression of the CpTi gene driven by the constitutively active promoter of the rice actin 1 gene (Act1) leads to high-level accumulation of the CpTI protein in transgenic rice plants. Protein extracts from transgenic rice plants exhibit a strong inhibitory activity against bovine trypsin, suggesting that the proteinase inhibitor produced in transgenic rice is functionally active. Small-scale field tests showed that the transgenic rice plants expressing the CpTi gene had significantly increased resistance to two species of rice stem borers, which are major rice insect pests. Our results suggest that the cowpea trypsin inhibitor may be useful for the control of rice insect pests. 相似文献

The cbnA gene encoding the chlorocatechol dioxygenase gene from Ralstonia eutropha NH9 was introduced into rice plants. The cbnA gene was expressed in transgenic rice plants under the control of a modified cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Western blot analysis using anti-CbnA protein indicated that the cbnA gene was expressed in leaf tissue, roots, culms, and seeds. Transgenic rice calluses expressing the cbnA gene converted 3-chlorocatechol to 2-chloromucote efficiently. Growth and morphology of the transgenic rice plants expressing the cbnA gene were not distinguished from those of control rice plants harboring only a Ti binary vector. It is thus possible to breed transgenic plants that degrade chloroaromatic compounds in soil and surface water. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of silicon (Si) application on rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) and its responses in the regulation of jasmonic acid (JA) during wounding stress. Endogenous JA was significantly higher in wounded rice plants than in non-wounded. In contrast, Si treatment significantly reduced JA synthesis as compared to non-Si applications under wounding stress. mRNA expression of O. sativa genes showed down-regulation of lipoxygenase, allene oxide synthase 1, allene oxide synthase 2, 12-oxophytodienoate reductase 3, and allene oxide cyclase upon Si application and wounding stress as compared to non-Si-treated wounded rice plants. The physical injury-induced-oxidative stress was modulated by Si treatments, which resulted in higher catalase, peroxidase, and polyphenol oxidase activities as compared with non-Si-treated plants under wounding stress. The higher Si accumulation in rice plants also reduced the level of lipid peroxidation, which helped the rice plants to protect it from wounding stress. In conclusion, Si accumulation in rice plants mitigated the adverse effects of wounding through regulation of antioxidants and JA. 相似文献

A protein, starch phosphorylase inhibitor, was purified from the root of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam. cv Tainon 65). It had a molecular weight of 250,000 and could be composed of five identical subunits. The isoelectric point of the inhibitor was 4.63. It was a noncompetitive inhibitor toward the sweet potato enzyme with a Ki value of 1.3 × 10−6 molar when glucose-1-P was the variable substrate. Because cross-reacting materials of rabbit antiphosphorylase inhibitor of sweet potato were found in three arbitrarily selected plant materials, viz. potato tuber, spinach leaf, and rice grain, the occurrence of this protein seemed universal in higher plants. By an immunofluorescence technique, the inhibitor was located in the amyloplast and cell wall where phosphorylase was also found. This implies that they may interact in vivo, and the inhibitor may play an unknown regulatory role against the plant enzyme. 相似文献

A synthetic gene, mwti1b, coding for a winged bean trypsin inhibitor WTI-1B, has been introduced and expressed in rice plants, Oryza sativa. Protein extracts from transgenic rice plants expressing the trypsin inhibitor inhibited the gut proteases of larvae of the serious insect pest, the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in vitro. The growth of larvae reared on transgenic rice plants expressing WTI-1B at more than 1 ng/10 g total protein was significantly retarded compared to that on non-transgenic control plants. 相似文献

Transgenic rice was developed from ‘Swarna’, the most popular indica rice cultivar (Oryza sativa L.) in South East Asia, with a potato chymotrypsin inhibitor gene (pin2) through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Four out of nine primary transgenic plants had a single-copy T-DNA insertion while other five plants
had two copies. Mendelian pattern of inheritance of the transgene (pin2) was observed in the T1 generation progeny plants. Whole plant bioassays conducted at both vegetative and reproductive stages and cut stem assays
showed enhanced levels of resistance of transgenic rice against yellow stem borer. The transgenic rice lines with plant derived
proteinase inhibitor genes would develop into resistant cultivars to fit into resistance breeding strategies as an important
component of integrated pest management in rice. 相似文献

In order to clarify the impacts of southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) infection on rice plants, rice planthoppers and natural enemies, differences in nutrients and volatile secondary metabolites between infected and healthy rice plants were examined. Furthermore, the impacts of virus-mediated changes in plants on the population growth of non-vector brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, and the selectivity and parasitic capability of planthopper egg parasitoid Anagrus nilaparvatae were studied. The results showed that rice plants had no significant changes in amino acid and soluble sugar contents after SRBSDV infection, and SRBSDV-infected plants had no significant effect on population growth of non-vector BPH. A. nilaparvatae preferred BPH eggs both in infected and healthy rice plants, and tended to parasitize eggs on infected plants, but it had no significant preference for infected plants or healthy plants. GC-MS analysis showed that tridecylic aldehyde occurred only in rice plants infected with SRBSDV, whereas octanal, undecane, methyl salicylate and hexadecane occurred only in healthy rice plants. However, in tests of behavioral responses to these five volatile substances using a Y-tube olfactometer, A. nilaparvatae did not show obvious selectivity between single volatile substances at different concentrations and liquid paraffin in the control group. The parasitic capability of A. nilaparvatae did not differ between SRBSDV-infected plants and healthy plant seedlings. The results suggested that SRBSDV-infected plants have no significant impacts on the non-vector planthopper and its egg parasitoid, A. nilaparvatae. 相似文献

Plant glutathione peroxidases (GPX) catalyze the reduction of H2O2 or organic hydroperoxides to water, mitigating the toxicity of these compounds to cells. In rice plants, the GPX gene family is composed of five members that are distributed in a range of sub-cellular compartments including cytosol, mitochondria, chloroplasts, or endoplasmic reticulum. Of these, OsGPX1 and OsGPX4 are located in mitochondria and chloroplasts, respectively. To understand the role of these GPX in rice, the effect of knockdown of OsGPX1 and OsGPX4 in rice plants was evaluated. Our data show that OsGPX4 was essential for in vitro rice regeneration because no plants were obtained from calli carrying a hairpin construct against OsGPX4. Although the knockdown of OsGPX1 did not impair plant regeneration, the plants with silenced OsGPX1 (GPX1s plants) showed reduced shoot length and a reduced number of seeds compared to the non-transformed rice plants. These results indicate that OsGPX1 and OsGPX4 are essential for redox homeostasis which leads to normal growth and development of rice. 相似文献

Off-type rice plants occurring in farm fields cause yield loss due to competition with cultivated rice, in addition to hindering field management and harvest work. This study aimed to observe the agronomic characteristics and trace the origins of off-type rice plants using molecular markers. A total of 116 rice accessions, comprising 35 off-type plants collected from Korean farm fields, 19 Korean commercial cultivars, 12 Korean land races, and 50 weedy rice collections, were phenotyped and genotyped using selected SSR and Subspecies Specific (SS)-STS markers. The results showed that the plant height, culm length, and leaf length of off-type rice plants were larger than those of cultivated rice, which is the typical phenotype of weedy rice. However, off-type plants were highly sterile, as opposed to weedy rice, which were highly fertile. Genotype analysis with SSR and SS-STS markers revealed that off-type rice plants were heterozygous at most of the tested marker loci, suggesting that the off-type rice plants may have originated from natural outcrossing. The genotypes of off-type rice plants were closely related to both weedy and cultivated rice, and the phylogenetic analysis revealed that the relationship of the clustered group of offtype rice plants is intermediate between Indica type weedy rice and Japonica type commercial varieties. These results suggested that off-type rice plants collected in Korean farm fields might have originated from natural outcrossing between Indica type weedy rice and the cultivated Japonica type commercial varieties. 相似文献

Azospirillum and arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization enhance rice growth and physiological traits under well-watered and drought conditions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The response of rice plants to inoculation with an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Azospirillum brasilense, or combination of both microorganisms, was assayed under well-watered or drought stress conditions. Water deficit treatment was imposed by reducing the amount of water added, but AM plants, with a significantly higher biomass, received the same amount of water as non-AM plants, with a poor biomass. Thus, the water stress treatment was more severe for AM plants than for non-AM plants. The results showed that AM colonization significantly enhanced rice growth under both water conditions, although the greatest rice development was reached in plants dually inoculated under well-watered conditions. Water level did not affect the efficiency of photosystem II, but both AM and A. brasilense inoculations increased this value. AM colonization increased stomatal conductance, particularly when associated with A. brasilense, which enhanced this parameter by 80% under drought conditions and by 35% under well-watered conditions as compared to single AM plants. Exposure of AM rice to drought stress decreased the high levels of glutathione that AM plants exhibited under well-watered conditions, while drought had no effect on the ascorbate content. The decrease of glutathione content in AM plants under drought stress conditions led to enhance lipid peroxidation. On the other hand, inoculation with the AM fungus itself increased ascorbate and proline as protective compounds to cope with the harmful effects of water limitation. Inoculation with A. brasilense also enhanced ascorbate accumulation, reaching a similar level as in AM plants. These results showed that, in spite of the fact that drought stress imposed by AM treatments was considerably more severe than non-AM treatments, rice plants benefited not only from the AM symbiosis but also from A. brasilense root colonization, regardless of the watering level. However, the beneficial effects of A. brasilense on most of the physiological and biochemical traits of rice plants were only clearly visible when the plants were mycorrhized. This microbial consortium was effective for rice plants as an acceptable and ecofriendly technology to improve plant performance and development. 相似文献

Glutathione (GSH), a low-molecular-weight tripeptide molecule that plays an important role in cell function and metabolism as an antioxidant, is synthesized by γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase and glutathione synthetase. To investigate the functional role of GSH in the adaptation of plants to abiotic stresses, we developed Brassica juncea L. ECS (BrECS)-expressing transgenic rice plants (BrECS1 and BrECS2) under the regulation of a stress-inducible Rab21 promoter. BrECS1 and BrECS2 transgenic rice plants with BrECS overexpression tolerated high salinity by maintaining a cellular glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disulfide redox buffer, which prevented unnecessary membrane oxidation. BrECS1 and BrECS2 rice plants also showed lower ion leakage and higher chlorophyll-fluorescence than wild-type (WT) rice plants in the presence of methyl viologen (MV) and salt, resulting in enhanced tolerance to abiotic stresses. During germination, BrECS overexpression increased growth and development, resulting in an increased germination rate in the presence of salt conditions, but not under salt-free normal conditions. Furthermore, BrECS1 and BrECS2 rice plants displayed a moderate increase in biomass and rice grain yield under general paddy field conditions when compared to WT rice plants under general paddy field conditions. Therefore, our results suggest that BrECS-overexpression was critical for cellular defense from reactive oxygen species attacks produced by salt and MV, promotion of germination, and metabolic processes involved in natural environmental stress tolerance, thereby enhancing growth development and rice grain yield. 相似文献

We have characterized a member of the stress-associated protein (SAP) gene family from Sorghum bicolor (SbSAP14) with A20 and AN1 zinc-finger domains. Expression profiling revealed that SbSAP14 is specifically induced in response to dehydration, salt, and oxidative stress as well as abscisic acid treatment. During the early stage of salt stress, overexpression of SbSAP14 was able to prevent yellowing and withering of the leaf tip of rice plants. Measurements of malondialdehyde, ion leakage, and chlorophyll content demonstrated that transgenic rice had an enhanced tolerance to oxidative damage caused by salt stress. Under prolonged salt stress, transgenic rice plants had a higher seed germination rate and higher percentage seedling survival than wild-type (WT) plants. Importantly, in vivo and in situ assays revealed that the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in transgenic rice plants was significantly lower than that in WT plants. Among the six antioxidant genes tested, APX2, CatB, CatC, and SodA1 showed a higher expression level in transgenic rice than in WT rice. Based on these results, we propose that SbSAP14 may play a key role in antioxidant defense systems and possibly be involved in the induction of antioxidant genes in plants, suggesting a possible mechanism of the SAP gene family in stress defense response. 相似文献

OSIPP3 gene (coding for pectin methylesterase inhibitor protein) was isolated from a pre-pollinated inflorescence-specific cDNA library by differential screening of stage-specific libraries from Oryza sativa. OSIPP3 is present in the genome of rice as a single copy gene. OSIPP3 gene was expressed exclusively in the pre-pollinated spikelets of rice. Upstream regulatory region (URR) of OSIPP3 was isolated and a series of 5′-deletions were cloned upstream of GUS reporter gene and were used to transform Arabidopsis. OSIPP3_del1 and del2 transgenic plants showed GUS expression in root, anther and silique, while OSIPP3_del3 showed GUS activity only in anthers and siliques. Pollen-specific expression was observed in case of plants harboring OSIPP3_del4 construct. It can, therefore, be concluded that the OSIPP3 URR between ?178 and +108 bp is necessary for conferring pollen-specific expression in Arabidopsis. 相似文献
