Transcriptome Profiling of Lotus japonicus Roots During Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Development and Comparison with that of Nodulation (2007)

Deguchi, Yuichi, Banba, Mari, Shimoda, Yoshikazu, Chechetka, Svetlana A., Suzuri, Ryota, Okusako, Yasuhiro, ...

To better understand the molecular responses of plants to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, we analyzed the differential gene expression patterns of Lotus japonicus, a model legume, with the aid of...

Symbiotic Rhizobium and Nitric Oxide Induce Gene Expression of Non-symbiotic Hemoglobin in Lotus japonicus (2005)

Shimoda, Yoshikazu, Nagata, Maki, Suzuki, Akihiro, Abe, Mikiko, Sato, Shusei, Kato, Tomohiko, ...

We characterized the expression profiles of LjHb1 and LjHb2, non-symbiotic hemoglobin (non-sym-Hb) genes of Lotus japonicus. Although LjHb1 and LjHb2 showed 77% homology in their cDNA...

Symbiotic Rhizobium and Nitric Oxide Induce Gene Expression of Nonsymbiotic Hemoglobin in Lotus japonicus (2005)

Shimoda, Yoshikazu, Nagata, Maki, Suzuki, Akihiro, Abe, Mikiko, Sato, Shusei, Kato, Tomohiko, ...

We characterized the expression profiles of LjHb1 and LjHb2, nonsymbiotic hemoglobin (nonsym-Hb) genes of Lotus japonicus. Although LjHb1 and LjHb2 showed 77% homology in their cDNA sequences, LjHb2...

Symbiotic Rhizobium and Nitric Oxide Induce Gene Expression of Nonsymbiotic Hemoglobin in Lotus japonicus (2005)

Control of Nodule Number by the Phytohormone Abscisic Acid in the Roots of Two Leguminous Species (2004)

Suzuki, Akihiro, Akune, Mitsumi, Kogiso, Mari, Imagama, Yoshihiro, Osuki, Ken-ichi, Uchiumi, Toshiki, ...

The effects of the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) on plant growth and root nodule formation were analyzed in Trifolium repense (white clover) and Lotus japonicus, which form indeterminate and...

Expression of Symbiotic and Nonsymbiotic Globin Genes Responding to Microsymbionts on Lotus japonicus (2002)

Uchiumi, Toshiki, Shimoda, Yoshikazu, Tsuruta, Tomoko, Mukoyoshi, Yumi, Suzuki, Akihiro, Senoo, Keishi, ...

Leguminous plants have both symbiotic and nonsymbiotic hemoglobin (sym- and nonsym-Hb) genes. Three symbiotic (LjLb1, 2, 3) and one nonsymbiotic (LjNSG1) Hb genes were isolated from a genomic library...

Detection of the Leghemoglobin Gene on Two Chromosomes of Phaseolus vulgaris by in situ PCR Linked-Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (FISH) (1998)

Uchiumi, Toshiki, Kuwashiro, Ryoko, Miyamoto, Junko, Abe, Mikiko, Higashi, Shiro

The leghemoglobin (Lb) gene on the metaphase chromosomes of Phaseolus vulgaris was amplified by in situ PCR. The amplified Lb gene could be detected on two chromosomes by fluorescent in situ...

Adsorption of 14-Labeled Gramicidin S on Cell of Bacteria (1981)

YONEZAWA, Hiroo, KANEDA, Makoto, TOMINAGA, Naotomo, HIGASHI, Shiro, IZUMIYA, Nobuo

Gramicidin S (GS) containing 14C-labelled proline was synthesized by a solid-phase method, and the labeled GS dihydrochloride was obtained as crystals. The labeled GS exhibited same antibacterial...

Promotion of Infection Thread Formation by Substances from Rhizobium

Higashi, Shiro, Abe, Mikiko

An extrinsic substance (ES-6000) was isolated from the periplasmic space of Rhizobium trifolii (strain 4S) cells by osmotic shock, using a high-density sucrose solution. This substance promoted...

Scanning Electron Microscopy of Rhizobium trifolii Infection Sites on Root Hairs of White Clover

Higashi, Shiro, Abe, Mikiko

White clover root hairs which were inoculated with Rhizobium trifolii 4S (infectious strain) contained infection threads which were observed by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy....

A possible role of class 1 plant hemoglobin at the early stage of legume-rhizobium symbiosis

Nagata, Maki, Hashimoto, Masahito, Murakami, Ei-ichi, Shimoda, Yoshikazu, Shimoda-Sasakura, Fuyuko, Kucho, Ken-ichi, ...

Leguminous plants form root nodules, in which symbiotic rhizobia fix atmospheric nitrogen and supply the fixation products to their host plants as a nitrogen source. On the process of establishing...
