Journal ArticleDOI
WRKY76 is a rice transcriptional repressor playing opposite roles in blast disease resistance and cold stress tolerance
Naoki Yokotani,Yuko Sato,Shigeru Tanabe,Tetsuya Chujo,Takafumi Shimizu,Kazunori Okada,Hisakazu Yamane,Masaki Shimono,Shoji Sugano,Hiroshi Takatsuji,Hisatoshi Kaku,Eiichi Minami,Yoko Nishizawa +12 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that OsWRKY76 plays dual and opposing roles in blast disease resistance and cold tolerance, as well as the increased expression of abiotic stress-associated genes such as peroxidase and lipid metabolism genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of rice heat stress transcription factor OsHsfA2e enhances tolerance to environmental stresses in transgenic Arabidopsis
Naoki Yokotani,Takanari Ichikawa,Youichi Kondou,Minami Matsui,Hirohiko Hirochika,Masaki Iwabuchi,Kenji Oda +6 more
TL;DR: Microarray analysis demonstrated that under unstressed conditions transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing OsHsfA2e highly expressed certain stress-associated genes, including several classes of heat-shock proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tolerance to various environmental stresses conferred by the salt-responsive rice gene ONAC063 in transgenic Arabidopsis.
Naoki Yokotani,Takanari Ichikawa,Youichi Kondou,Minami Matsui,Hirohiko Hirochika,Masaki Iwabuchi,Kenji Oda +6 more
TL;DR: Microarray and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses showed upregulated expression of some salinity-inducible genes, including the amylase gene AMY1, in ONAC063-expressing transgenic Arabidopsis, which may play an important role in eliciting responses to high-salinity stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
OsWRKY28, a PAMP-responsive transrepressor, negatively regulates innate immune responses in rice against rice blast fungus.
Tetsuya Chujo,Tetsuya Chujo,Koji Miyamoto,Takeo Shimogawa,Takafumi Shimizu,Takafumi Shimizu,Yuko Otake,Naoki Yokotani,Yoko Nishizawa,Naoto Shibuya,Hideaki Nojiri,Hisakazu Yamane,Hisakazu Yamane,Eiichi Minami,Kazunori Okada +14 more
TL;DR: Results strongly suggest that OsWRKY28 is a negative regulator of basal defense responses against Ina86-137 and acts as a modulator to maintain the responses at an appropriate level by attenuating the activation of defense-related gene expression levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ripening-associated ethylene biosynthesis in tomato fruit is autocatalytically and developmentally regulated.
TL;DR: The results suggest that ripening-associated ethylene (system 2) in wild-type tomato fruit consists of two parts: a small part regulated by a developmental factor through the ethylene-independent expression of LeACS2 andLeACS4 and a large partregulated by an autocatalytic system due to the ethane-dependent expression of the same genes.
