Open AccessSoybean flower-specific R2R3-MYB transcription factor gene GmMYB108 induces anthocyanin production in Arabidopsis thaliana
R2R3-MYB transcription factors (TFs) are known to play a key role in regulating the expression of structural genes involved in plant flavonoid biosynthesis. However, the regulatory networks and related genes c...

Open AccessHigh-density linkage map reveals QTL for Type-I seed coat cracking in RIL population of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]
Seed coat cracking (SCC), particularly the Type-I irregular cracking, is critical in determining the quality of appearance and commercial value of soybean seeds. The objective of this study was to identify the...

Rice CaM-binding transcription factor (OsCBT) mediates defense signaling via transcriptional reprogramming
The mutant allele of rice calmodulin-binding transcription activator OsCBT, oscbt-1, exhibits broad-spectrum resistance against rice pathogens. Previously, we reported that the strong resistance of the oscbt-1 mu...

Open AccessVariation block-based genomics method for crop plants
In contrast with wild species, cultivated crop genomes consist of reshuffled recombination blocks, which occurred by crossing and selection processes. Accordingly, recombination block-based genomics analysis c...

Constitutive expression of mammalian nitric oxide synthase in tobacco plants triggers disease resistance to pathogens
Nitric oxide (NO) is known for its role in the activation of plant defense responses. To examine the involvement and mode of action of NO in plant defense responses, we introduced calmodulin-dependent mammalia...

Suppression of NS3 and MP is important for the stable inheritance of RNAi-mediated Rice Stripe Virus (RSV) resistance obtained by targeting the fully complementary RSV-CP gene
Rice stripe virus (RSV) is a viral disease that seriously impacts rice production in East Asia, most notably in Korea, China, and Japan. Highly RSV-resistant transgenic japonica rice plants were ...

Proteomic Analysis of Seed Storage Proteins in Low Allergenic Soybean Accession
Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) is a major source of protein for human and animal nutrients. However, soybean seed also contains a number of allergenic proteins, which limit its extensive usage in the food industr...

Expression of BrD1, a plant defensin from Brassica rapa, confers resistance against brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) in transgenic rices
Plant defensins are small (5-10 kDa) basic peptides thought to be an important component of the defense pathway against fungal and/or bacterial pathogens. To understand the role of plant defensins in protectin...

The calmodulin-binding transcription factor OsCBT suppresses defense responses to pathogens in rice
We previously isolated the OsCBT gene, which encodes a calmodulin (CaM)-binding protein, from a rice expression library constructed from fungal elicitor-treated rice suspension cells. In order to understand the f...

Identification and characterization of alternative promoters of the rice MAP kinase gene OsBWMK1
Our previous study suggested that OsBWMK1, a gene which encodes a member of the rice MAP kinase family, generates transcript variants which show distinct expression patterns in response to environmental stresses....
