| T1 |
0-46 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Characterization of XET-related genes of rice. |
| T2 |
47-251 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To elucidate the mechanism of internodal elongation in rice (Oryza sativa L.), we analyzed genes encoding xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET), a cell wall-loosening enzyme essential for cell elongation. |
| T3 |
252-393 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Four rice XET-related (XTR) genes, OsXTR1, OsXTR2, OsXTR3, and OsXTR4, were isolated and their expression patterns in rice plants determined. |
| T4 |
394-518 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The expression of the four XTR genes showed different patterns of organ specificity and responses to several plant hormones. |
| T5 |
519-661 |
Sentence |
denotes |
OsXTR1 and OsXTR3 were up-regulated by gibberellin and brassinosteroids, whereas OsXTR2 and OsXTR4 showed no clear response to these hormones. |
| T6 |
662-776 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Expression of the four XTR genes was also investigated in elongating internodes at different developmental stages. |
| T7 |
777-968 |
Sentence |
denotes |
OsXTR1 and OsXTR3 were preferentially expressed in the elongating zone of internodes, while OsXTR2 and OsXTR4 were expressed in nodes and in the divisional and elongating zones of internodes. |
| T8 |
969-1159 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In three genetic mutants with abnormal heights, the expression of OsXTR1 and OsXTR3 correlated with the height of the mutants, whereas no such correlation was observed for OsXTR2 and OsXTR4. |
| T9 |
1160-1275 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Based on these observations, we discuss the roles that OsXTR1 and OsXTR3 may play in internodal elongation in rice. |
