Acquired resistance to the rice blast in transgenic rice accumulating the antimicrobial peptide thanatin
Thanatin is an antimicrobial peptide with a strong and wide-ranging antimicrobial spectrum, including certain species of fungi and Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. To evaluate the application of thana...

Molecular characterization of ONAC300, a novel NAC gene specifically expressed at early stages in various develo** tissues of rice
Members of the plant-specific gene family referred to as the NAC family (for NAM-ATAF-CUC-related) are involved in various functions including the regulation of plant development. However, no detailed molecula...

Molecular analysis of the gene encoding a rice starch branching enzyme
The sequence of a rice gene encoding a starch branching enzyme (sbe1) shows extreme divergence from that of the rice gene, that is homologous to bacterial glycogen branching enzyme (sbe2). sbe1 is expressed abund...

Rice chloroplast RNA polymerase genes: The absence of an intron in rpoC1 and the presence of an extra sequence in rpoC2
The chloroplast genome contains sequences homologous to the Escherichia coli rpoA, rpoB and rpoC genes. The Choroplast rpoC gene is divided into rpoC1 and rpoC2, of which rpoC1 contains an intron. Comparison of t...

The complete sequence of the rice (Oryza sativa) chloroplast genome: Intermolecular recombination between distinct tRNA genes accounts for a major plastid DNA inversion during the evolution of the cereals
The entire chloroplast genome of the monocot rice (Oryza sativa) has been sequenced and comprises 134525 bp. Predicted genes have been identified along with open reading frames (ORFs) conserved between rice and t...

Sequence analysis of the junctions between a large inverted repeat and single-copy regions in tobacco chloroplast DNA
Tobacco chloroplast DNA contains a large inverted repeat sequence of 26 kilobase pairs (kbp). The inverted repeat is separated by 20 kbp small single-copy and 90 kbp large single-copy regions. We have cloned f...
