The genome sequence and structure of rice chromosome 1

The rice species Oryza sativa is considered to be a model plant because of its small genome size, extensive genetic map, relative ease of transformation and synteny with other cereal crops. Here we report the essentially complete sequence of chromosome 1, the longest chromosome in the rice genome. We summarize characteristics of the chromosome structure and the biological insight gained from the sequence. The analysis of 43.3 megabases (Mb) of non-overlapping sequence reveals 6,756 protein coding genes, of which 3,161 show homology to proteins of Arabidopsis thaliana, another model plant. About 30% (2,073) of the genes have been functionally categorized. Rice chromosome 1 is (G + C)-rich, especially in its coding regions, and is characterized by several gene families that are dispersed or arranged in tandem repeats. Comparison with a draft sequence indicates the importance of a high-quality finished sequence.

Characterization of Oszinc626, knock-out in zinc finger RING-H2 protein gene, in Ac/Ds mutant lines of rice(Oryza sativar L.)

본 연구는 동진벼 유래의 Ac/Ds 삽입변이집단의 GUS 분석을 통하여 뿌리 및 미숙종자에서 강하게 GUS가 발현한 개체를 선발하여 FST(flanking sequence tag) 분석 한 결과 Ds 전이 인자가 3번 염색체 zinc finger RING-H2 관련 Oszinc626 유전자의 첫 번째 exon 부위에 single copy로 삽입되어 있었으며, 선발변이체는 뿌리 및 종자 발달이 정상인 동진벼에 비해 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. Oszinc626 유전자는 RING-H2 type(C3-H2-C3)으로

저온등과 같은abiotic stress에 의해 발현이 증가함을 보였고, 호르몬처리에 있어서 ABA와 IAA의 식물호르몬을 처리했을 경우 24시간까지 계속해서 발현양이 증가하는 것을 보이는 반면, 2,4-D 처리의 경우 30분 후에 발현이 일시적으로 증가되었으나 이후 발현이 급속히 감소한 것을 보였다. 벼의 조직 별 발현 검정에서 미성숙한 종자, 뿌리 분열조직 및 신초 등 주로 생장점 부위에서 강하게 발현되는 것을 보임에 따라 Oszinc626 유전자의 경우 식물의 생장에 관여하는 주동 유전자의 하나로 판단된다. 【Ac/Ds mutant lines of this study were transgenic rice plants, each of which harbored the maize transposable element Ds together with a GUS coding sequence under the control of a promoterless(Ds-GUS). We selected the mutants that were GUS expressed lines, because the GUS positive lines will be useful for identifying gene function in rice. One of these mutants was identified knock-out at Oszinc626(NP_001049991) gene, encoding a RING-H2 zinc-finger protein, by Ds insertion. In this mutant, while primary root development is normal, secondary root development from lateral root was very poor and seed development was incomplete compare with normal plant. RING zinc-finger proteins play important roles in the regulation of development in a variety of organisms. In the plant kingdom, a few genes encoding RING zinc-finger proteins have been documented with visible effects on plant growth and development. The consensus of the RING-H2(C3-H2-C3 type) domain for this group of protein is

Morphological and molecular characterization of a new frizzy panicle mutant, “fzp‐9(t)”, in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

. Oszinc626 encodes a predicted protein product of 445 amino acids residues with a molecular mass of 49 kDa, with a RING-zinc-finger motif located at the extreme end of the C-terminus. RT-PCR analysis indicated that the expression of Oszinc626 gene was induced by IAA, cold, dehydration, high-salinity and abscisic acid, but not by 2,4-D, and the transcription of Oszinc626 gene accumulated primarily in rice immature seeds, root meristem and shoots. The gene accumulation patterns were corresponded with GUS expression.】

Analysis of intragenic Ds transpositions and excision events generating novel allelic variation in rice.

Abstract We describe a rapid and simple procedure for homogenizing leaf samples suitable for mini/midi‐scale DNA preparation in rice. The methods used tungsten carbide beads and general vortexer for homogenizing leaf samples. In general, two samples can be ground completely within 11.3±1.5 sec at one time. Up to 20 samples can be ground at a time using a vortexer attachment. The yields of the DNA ranged from 2.2 to 7.6 µg from 25–150 mg of young fresh leaf tissue. The quality and quantity of DNA was compatible for most of PCR work and RFLP analysis.
