Neutralization of Acid Droplets on Plant Leaf Surfaces
Sulfuric acid mist exposure of bush bean leaves at a low rate of precipitation suggested that acid on the leaf surface was neutralized by cations leached from leaf tissues and that Ca-S compounds were accumula...

Phytochrome-mediated control of COP1 gene expression in rice plants
We isolated a COP1 cDNA from rice and found that it could complement the Arabidopsis cop1-4 mutant. The putative rice COP1 protein has the Ring-finger, coiled-coil, and WD-40 repeat domains, which are also conser...

Production of transgenic gentian plants by particle bombardment of suspension-culture cells
Cell suspension cultures were established from leaf explants of gentian (Gentiana triflora×G. scabra) for the generation of transgenic plants by particle bombardment. The parameters for the bombardment of suspen...

The Rice Importin α1: Light-Regulated Expression and Mediation of Nuclear Protein Import in vitro by Recombinant Protein
Many photosynthesis- and photomorphogenesis-related genes are regulated by light. A possible regulation of light signal transduction by nuclear import processes of some transcription factor and nuclear protein...
