T1 |
0-74 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Multiple mode regulation of a cysteine proteinase gene expression in rice. |
T2 |
75-191 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In many plants, cysteine proteinases play essential roles in a variety of developmental and physiological processes. |
T3 |
192-372 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In rice (Oryza sativa), REP-1 is a primary cysteine proteinase responsible for the digestion of seed storage proteins to provide nutrients to support the growth of young seedlings. |
T4 |
373-473 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In the present study, the gene encoding REP-1 was isolated, characterized, and designated as OsEP3A. |
T5 |
474-631 |
Sentence |
denotes |
An OsEP3A-specific DNA probe was used to study the effect of various factors on the expression of OsEP3A in germinating seeds and vegetative tissues of rice. |
T6 |
632-813 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The expression of OsEP3A is hormonally regulated in germinating seeds, spatially and temporally regulated in vegetative tissues, and nitrogen-regulated in suspension-cultured cells. |
T7 |
814-994 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The OsEP3A promoter was linked to the coding sequence of the reporter gene, gusA, which encodes beta-glucuronidase (GUS), and the chimeric gene was introduced into the rice genome. |
T8 |
995-1106 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The OsEP3A promoter is sufficient to confer nitrogen regulation of GUS expression in suspension-cultured cells. |
T9 |
1107-1255 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Histochemical studies also indicate that the OsEP3A promoter is sufficient to confer the hormonal regulation of GUS expression in germinating seeds. |
T10 |
1256-1461 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These studies demonstrate that in rice the REP-1 protease encoded by OsEP3A may play a role in various physiological responses and processes, and that multiple mechanisms regulate the expression of OsEP3A. |
