Protein Tools> | First, a protein structural analysis using the ChloroP1.1 program (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/ChloroP/) and WoLF PSORT (http://www.genscript.com/results/143012805716365.html) predicted that Os8N3/Xa13 has the characteristics of chloroplast proteins (Supplementary Table 3). | Get A Quote |
Thylakoid membrane-bound ascorbate peroxidase (tAPX) is a major H2O2-scavenging enzyme. To clarify its functions in tolerance to rice bacterial blight, we produced rice lines overexpressing and suppressing tAPX (OsAPX8). The overexpressing lines exhibited increased tolerance to bacterial pathogen. The RNA interference (RNAi) lines were considerably more sensitive than the control plant. Further analysis of the H2O2 content in these transgenic plants indicated that the H2O2 accumulation of OsAPX8-overexpressing plants was considerably less than that of wild-type and RNAi plants upon challenge with bacterial pathogen. Interestingly, H2O2 was the most important factor for the serious leaf dehydration and withe... More
