The light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex of photosystem II (LHCII) is the most abundant membrane protein in green plants, and its degradation is a crucial process for the acclimation to...
A Novel Carotenoid Derivative, Lutein 3-Acetate, Accumulates in Senescent Leaves of Rice (2009)
Kusaba, Makoto, Maoka, Takashi, Morita, Ryouhei, Takaichi, Shinichi
The biosynthetic pathway of lutein, the most abundant carotenoid in leaves, has been extensively studied, while its degradation pathway during senescence is poorly understood. We found that a novel...

Self-incompatibility in Brassica is controlled by a single multi-allelic locus (S locus), which contains at least two highly polymorphic genes expressed in the stigma: an S glycoprotein gene (SLG)...

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism that restricts inbreeding in flowering plants. In the nightshade family (Solanaceae) SI is controlled by a single multiallelic S locus. Pollen...

As a starting point for a phylogenetic study of self-incompatibility (SI) in crucifers and to elucidate the genetic basis of transitions between outcrossing and self-fertilizing mating systems in...

Low glutelin content1 (Lgc1) is a dominant mutation that reduces glutelin content in rice grains. Glutelin is a major seed storage protein encoded by a multigene family. RNA gel blot and reverse...

An early genetic study showed that most radiation-induced mutations are not transmitted to progeny. In recent molecular studies in plants, mainly M2 plants or their progeny, which contain only...
Coevolution of the S-locus genes SRK, SLG and SP11/SCR in Brassica oleracea and B. rapa.
Sato, Keiichi, Nishio, Takeshi, Kimura, Ryo, Kusaba, Makoto, Suzuki, Tohru, Hatakeyama, Katsunori, ...
Brassica self-incompatibility (SI) is controlled by SLG and SRK expressed in the stigma and by SP11/SCR expressed in the anther. We determined the sequences of the S domains of 36 SRK alleles, 13 SLG...

The determinants of recognition specificity of self-incompatibility in Brassica are SRK in the stigma and SP11/SCR in the pollen, both of which are encoded in the S locus. The nucleotide sequence...

Although recent findings suggest that the F-box genes SFB/SLF control pollen-part S specificity in the S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) system, how these genes operate in the...
Mendel's green cotyledon gene encodes a positive regulator of the chlorophyll-degrading pathway
Sato, Yutaka, Morita, Ryouhei, Nishimura, Minoru, Yamaguchi, Hiroyasu, Kusaba, Makoto
Mutants that retain greenness of leaves during senescence are known as “stay-green” mutants. The most famous stay-green mutant is Mendel's green cotyledon pea, one of the mutants used in...

Chlorophyll degradation is an aspect of leaf senescence, which is an active process to salvage nutrients from old tissues. non-yellow coloring1 (nyc1) is a rice (Oryza sativa) stay-green mutant in...
