Protocol
Escherichia coli-Based Expression and In Vitro Activity Assay of 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate (ACC) Synthase and ACC Oxidase
1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase and ACC oxidase are key enzymes in the ethylene biosynthetic pathway in plant tissues, and in vitro assay of their activities is indispensable for analysis, esp...

Expression of a rice glutaredoxin in aleurone layers of develo** and mature seeds: subcellular localization and possible functions in antioxidant defense
A rice glutaredoxin isoform (OsGrxC2;2) with antioxidant capacity is expressed abundantly in seed tissues and is localized to storage vacuoles in aleurone layers in develo** and mature seeds.

2-Aminooxyisobutyric acid inhibits the in vitro activities of both 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase and ACC oxidase in ethylene biosynthetic pathway and prolongs vase life of cut carnation flowers
2-Aminooxyisobutyric acid (AOIB) has a partial structure of aminooxyacetic acid (AOA) in its whole structure, and resembles 2-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) in their tetrahedral structures. Both AOA and AIB are in...

RNAi-mediated suppression of endogenous storage proteins leads to a change in localization of overexpressed cholera toxin B-subunit and the allergen protein RAG2 in rice seeds
RNAi-mediated suppression of the endogenous storage proteins in MucoRice-CTB-RNAi seeds affects not only the levels of overexpressed CTB and RAG2 allergen, but also the localization of CTB and ...

Accumulation of rice prolamin–GFP fusion proteins induces ER-derived protein bodies in transgenic rice calli
We showed that rice prolamin polypeptides formed ER-derived PBs in transgenic rice calli, and that this heterologous transgene expression system is suitable for studying the mechanism of rice P...

Early flowering and increased expression of a FLOWERING LOCUS T-like gene in chrysanthemum transformed with a mutated ethylene receptor gene mDG-ERS1(etr1-4)
Ethylene has an inhibitory effect on flowering in a short-day (SD) plant chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.). In this study, we used a hexaploid chrysanthemum ‘Sei-Marine’ and found that its transgeni...

Production of human growth hormone in transgenic rice seeds: co-introduction of RNA interference cassette for suppressing the gene expression of endogenous storage proteins
Rice seeds are potentially useful hosts for the production of pharmaceutical proteins. However, low yields of recombinant proteins have been observed in many cases because recombinant proteins compete with end...

Analysis of genomic DNA of DcACS1, a 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase gene, expressed in senescing petals of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) and its orthologous genes in D. superbus var. longicalycinus
Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) flowers exhibit climacteric ethylene production followed by petal wilting, a senescence symptom. DcACS1, which encodes 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACS), is a gene...

Subcellular Localization and Changes in mRNA Abundance of CEBP, a Nuclear-Encoded Chloroplast Protein, During Flower Development and Senescence
CEBP, a nuclear-encoded chloroplast protein, has been previously cloned as a putative transcription factor involved in ethylene signaling in carnation development and senescence. In order to more clearly defin...

Suppressed Leaf Senescence in Chrysanthemum Transformed with a Mutated Ethylene Receptor GenemDG-ERS1(etr1-4)
Previously, Narumi et al. (2005) generated chrysanthemum plants transformed with a mutated ethylene receptor gene (mDG-ERS1(etr1-4<), and showed that thein vitro plantlets of the transformants grown aseptically i...

Anoxia-enhanced expression of genes isolated by suppression subtractive hybridization from pondweed (Potamogeton distinctus A. Benn.) turions
Pondweed (Potamogeton distinctus A. Benn.), a monocot aquatic plant species, has turions, which are overwintering buds forming underground as an asexual reproductive organ. Turions not only survive for more than ...

Transformation of carnation with genes related to ethylene production and perception: towards generation of potted carnations with a longer display time
Potted carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L. cv. Lillipot) plants were transformed with cDNAs for carnation 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase (DC-ACS1, s/aACS transgenes) or ACC oxidase (DC-ACO1, s/a...

Characteristics of the inhibitory action of 1,1-dimethyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)semicarbazide (DPSS) on ethylene production in carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) flowers
1,1-Dimethyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)semicarbazide (DPSS)inhibited ethylene productionin carnation flowers during natural senescence, butdid not inhibit the ethyleneproduction induced by exogenous ethylene in carnat...

Induction by ozone of ethylene production and an ACC oxidase cDNA in rice (Oryza sativa L.) leaves
Exposure to ozone at 1 µl l−1 for 6 h induced ethylene production in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Hitomebore) leaves. The stimulation of ethylene production was detectable 2 h after the start of the exposure to ozon...

1,1-Dimethyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)semicarbazide (DPSS) does not inhibit the in vitro activities of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase and ACC synthase obtained from senescing carnation Dianthus caryophyllus L.) petals
The effects of 1,1-dimethyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)semicarbazide (DPSS) on the in vitro activities of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase and ACC synthase isolated from senescing carnation petals were i...

D-Amino-acid-stimulated ethylene production in seed tissues
Ethylene production by axial and cotyledonary tissues excised from Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wallr. seeds was markedly (up to 5-fold) stimulated by the D-isomers of phenylalanine, valine, leucine, threonine, methio...
