Journal ArticleDOI
MNU-induced mutant pools and high performance TILLING enable finding of any gene mutation in rice
Tadzunu Suzuki,Mitsugu Eiguchi,Toshihiro Kumamaru,Hikaru Satoh,Hiroaki Matsusaka,Kazuki Moriguchi,Kazuki Moriguchi,Yasuo Nagato,Nori Kurata +8 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the rice mutant population generated by MNU-mutagenesis could be a promising resource for identifying mutations in any gene of rice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Axillary Meristem Formation in Rice Requires the WUSCHEL Ortholog TILLERS ABSENT1
Wakana Tanaka,Yoshihiro Ohmori,Tomokazu Ushijima,Hiroaki Matsusaka,Tomonao Matsushita,Toshihiro Kumamaru,Shigeyuki Kawano,Hiro-Yuki Hirano +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that rice (Oryza sativa) TILLERS ABSENT1 (TAB1; also known as Os WUS), an ortholog of Arabidopsis thaliana WUS, is required to initiate axillary meristem development and that the prophyll, the first leaf in the secondary axis, is formed from the premeristem zone and not from the axillaryMeristem.
Journal ArticleDOI
A role for the cysteine-rich 10 kDa prolamin in protein body I formation in rice.
Ai Nagamine,Hiroaki Matsusaka,Tomokazu Ushijima,Yasushi Kawagoe,Masahiro Ogawa,Thomas W. Okita,Toshihiro Kumamaru +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that CysR10, through its formation of the central core and its possible interaction with other cysteine-rich prolamins, is required for tight packaging of the proteins into a compact spherical structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Rice Endosperm ADP-Glucose Pyrophosphorylase Large Subunit is Essential for Optimal Catalysis and Allosteric Regulation of the Heterotetrameric Enzyme
Aytug Tuncel,Joe Kawaguchi,Yasuharu Ihara,Hiroaki Matsusaka,Aiko Nishi,Tetsuhiro Nakamura,Satoru Kuhara,Hideki Hirakawa,Yasunori Nakamura,Bilal Cakir,Ai Nagamine,Thomas W. Okita,Seon-Kap Hwang,Hikaru Satoh +13 more
TL;DR: The results provide definitive evidence that starch biosynthesis during rice endosperm development is controlled predominantly by the catalytic activity of the cytoplasmic AGPase and its allosteric regulation by the effectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the Rice ADP-Glucose Transporter (OsBT1) Indicates the Presence of Regulatory Processes in the Amyloplast Stroma That Control ADP-Glucose Flux into Starch.
Bilal Cakir,Shota Shiraishi,Aytug Tuncel,Hiroaki Matsusaka,Ryosuke Satoh,Salvinder Singh,Naoko Crofts,Yuko Hosaka,Naoko Fujita,Seon-Kap Hwang,Hikaru Satoh,Thomas W. Okita +11 more
TL;DR: Overall, the results indicate that rice lines with enhanced ADPglc synthesis and import into amyloplasts reveal additional barriers within the stroma that restrict maximum carbon flow into starch.
