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 ...

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....
