Journal ArticleDOI
High-level expression of maize phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in transgenic rice plants
Maurice S. B. Ku,Sakae Agarie,Mika Nomura,Hiroshi Fukayama,Hiroko Tsuchida,Kazuko Ono,Sakiko Hirose,Seiichi Toki,Mitsue Miyao,Makoto Matsuoka +9 more
TL;DR: A successful strategy for installing the key biochemical component of the C4 pathway of photosynthesis in C3 plants by introducing the intact gene of maize phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase into transgenic rice plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that the quantitative trait locus GPS (GREEN for PHOTOSYNTHESIS) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) controls photosynthesis rate by regulating carboxylation efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a new rice glutelin gene GluD-1 expressed in the starchy endosperm
TL;DR: Gel retardation assays and trans-activation experiments indicated that the truncated GCN4 and P box are specifically recognized by RISBZ1 b-ZIP and RPBF Dof activators in vitro, respectively, and are synergistically transactivated, indicating that combinatorial interactions of these motifs are involved in essential endosperm-specific regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing rice seed storage protein accumulation leads to changes in nutrient quality and storage organelle formation.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different levels of prolamin knockdown on seed quality were examined, showing that reduction of one or a few prolamins was compensated by increases in other SSPs at both mRNA and protein levels.
Reducing Rice Seed Storage Protein Accumulation Leads to Changes in Nutrient Quality and Storage
TL;DR: Rice (Oryza sativa) seed storage proteins (SSPs) are synthesized and deposited in storage organelles in the endosperm during seed maturation as a nitrogen source for germinating seedlings and their effects on seed quality are examined.
