Identification of root-preferential transcription factors in rice by analyzing GUS expression patterns of T-DNA tagging lines
T-DNA tagging lines are useful for analyzing the functions of genes and regulatory elements. We have previously generated approximately 100,000 insertional mutants in japonica rice (Oryza sativa), using T-DNA vec...

OsVIL1 controls flowering time in rice by suppressing OsLF under short days and by inducing Ghd7 under long days
OsVIL1 is associated with a PRC2-like complex through its fibronectin type III domain to activate flowering by suppressing OsLF under SD and delay flowering ...

Controlling flowering time by histone methylation and acetylation in arabidopsis and rice
Arabidopsis thaliana plants flower in Spring in order to produce offspring before they are out-competed by other species. By contrast, rice (Oryza sativa) flowers in Summer after ...

Mutation in Wilted Dwarf and Lethal 1 (WDL1) causes abnormal cuticle formation and rapid water loss in rice
Epidermal cell layers play important roles in plant defenses against various environmental stresses. Here we report the identification of a cuticle membrane mutant, wilted dwarf and lethal 1 (wdl1), from a rice T...

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...
