Summary The root system is a crucial determinant of plant growth potential because its important functions, e.g. uptake water and nutrients, structural support interaction with symbiotic organisms. Elucidating the molecular mechanism development functions therefore necessary for improving productivity, particularly crop plants, including rice ( Oryza sativa ). As an initial step towards developing comprehensive understanding system, we performed large‐scale transcriptome analysis via...

In the Brassicaceae, intraspecific non-self pollen (compatible pollen) can germinate and grow into stigmatic papilla cells, while self-pollen or interspecific is rejected at this stage. However, mechanisms underlying selective acceptance of compatible remain unclear. Here, using a cell-impermeant calcium indicator, we showed that coat contains signaling molecules stimulate Ca(2+) export from cells. Transcriptome analyses stigmas suggested autoinhibited Ca(2+)-ATPase13 (ACA13) was induced...

We applied the full-length cDNA overexpressor (FOX) gene-hunting system for systematic and genome-wide functional analysis of rice genes. In this study, we constructed a novel binary vector carrying Gateway site-specific recombination cassette then FOX libraries containing maximum 13,823 independent, cDNAs (fl-cDNAs) that correspond to approximately half total number fl-cDNA clones. By introducing via Agrobacterium, generated 2,586 FOX-rice lines exhibiting various visible alterations (e.g.,...

Paeoniae Radix, the dried root of Paeonia lactiflora, is one most important ingredients in Kampo medicine. It known that Radix derived from various P. lactiflora cultivars, including medicinal and horticultural cultivar identification by DNA analysis has been unsuccessful. We attempted to develop sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers as useful for herbal medicine authentication two cultivars developed Japan, 'Bonten' 'Kitasaisho,' which are superior strains lactiflora....

Summary Pollen has an extraordinary ability to convert from a dry state extremely rapidly growing state. During pollination, pollen receives water and Ca 2+ the contacting pistil, which will be directional cue for tube germination. The subsequent rapid activation of vesicular transport must support growth, but molecular mechanism leading this process is largely unknown. We established luciferase‐based pollination assay screen genetic mutants defective in early stage after pollination....

ABSTRACT Pollen has an extraordinary ability to convert from a dry state extremely rapidly growing state. During pollination, pollen receives water and Ca 2+ the contacting pistil, which will be directional cue for tube germination. The subsequent rapid activation of vesicular transport must support growth, but molecular mechanism leading this process is largely unknown. Here we show that plant-specific VPS13, AtVPS13a, mediates vesicle trafficking during polarization in Arabidopsis pollen....

To evaluate growth and develop a model of the medicinal plant Angelica acutiloba, we grew plants one cultivar in nursery at nine sites Honshu Shikoku, Japan, from 2016 to 2018. The collected data thus reflect differences growing environment. estimates root dry weight head diameter number days preferred temperature range between lower upper limits based on daily mean air temperature, incorporates suppression by high temperatures summer It was used program for estimating optimum harvest date...
