Arabidopsis metallothioneins 2a and 3 enhance resistance to cadmium when expressed in Vicia faba guard cells
The Arabidopsis metallothionein genes AtMT1andAtMT2confer Cd(II) resistance to Cd(II)-sensitive yeast, but it has not been directly shown whether they or other metallothioneins provide the same protection to plan...

Fine map** and candidate gene analysis of hwh1 and hwh2, a set of complementary genes controlling hybrid breakdown in rice
Hybrid breakdown (HB), a phenomenon of reduced viability or fertility accompanied with retarded growth in hybrid progenies, often arises in the offspring of intersubspecific hybrids between indica and japonica in...

Functional analysis of cotton orthologs of GA signal transduction factors GID1 and SLR1
Gibberellic acid (GA) is both necessary and sufficient to promote fiber elongation in cultured fertilized ovules of the upland cotton variety Coker 312. This is likely due to the temporal and spatial regulatio...

Comparison of the effects of 40% oxygen and two atmospheric absolute air pressure conditions on stress-induced premature senescence of normal human diploid fibroblasts
The pressure during hyperbaric oxygen treatment may increase oxygen toxicity via an augmented oxygen pressure in the gas. Nevertheless, only a few reports have been published on the effect of cells grown under...

Map-based cloning of the ERECT PANICLE 3 gene in rice
Panicle architecture in rice can have a strong influence on yield. Using N-methyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis, we isolated an erect panicle mutant, Hep, from Hwasunchalbyeo, a glutinous japonica rice cultivar. Gene...

High-resolution map** of two rice brown planthopper resistance genes, Bph20(t) and Bph21(t), originating from Oryza minuta
Brown planthopper (BPH) is one of the most destructive insect pests of rice. Wild species of rice are a valuable source of resistance genes for develo** resistant cultivars. A molecular marker-based genetic ...

Up-regulation of cancer-related genes in HepG2 cells by TCDD requires PRMT I and IV
The 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a well-known carcinogen, however, the biological mechanism of carcinogenesis by TCDD has not been established. Recently, protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMT...

Zinc deficiency-inducible OsZIP8 encodes a plasma membrane-localized zinc transporter in rice
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for several physiological and biochemical processes. To investigate its transport in rice, we characterized OsZIP8, a rice ZIP (Zrt, Irt-like Protein) gene that is strongly up-r...

Article
OsZIP5 is a plasma membrane zinc transporter in rice
Zinc is essential for normal plant growth and development. To understand its transport in rice, we characterized OsZIP5, which is inducible under Zn deficiency. OsZIP5 complemented the growth defect of a yeast Zn...

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase genes in cotton and their role in fiber elongation
Plant cell wall extensibility is mediated, in part, by xyloglucan endotransglycosylases/hydrolases (XTH) that are able to cleave and reattach xyloglucan polymers that make up the hemicelluloses matrix of type ...

A novel HSI2 mutation in Arabidopsis affects the PHD-like domain and leads to derepression of seed-specific gene expression
Two related B3 domain transcriptional repressors, HSI2 (HIGH-LEVEL EXPRESSION OF SUGAR-INDUCIBLE GENE2)/VAL1 (VP1/ABI3-LIKE1) and HSL1 (HSI2-LIKE1)/VAL2, function redundantly to repress key transcriptional reg...
