Fernie; Ling-Ling Chen; Meng Yuan; Jie Luo, Diterpenoids are the major group of antimicrobial phytoalexins in rice1,2. Here, we report the discovery of a rice diterpenoid gene cluster on chromosome 7 (DGC7) encoding the entire biosynthetic pathway to 5,10-diketo-casbene, a member of the monocyclic casbene-derived diterpenoids. We revealed that DGC7 is regulated directly by JMJ705 through methyl jasmonate-mediated epigenetic control3. Functional characterization of pathway genes revealed OsCYP71Z21 to encode a casbene C10 oxidase, sought after for the biosynthesis of an array of medicinally important diterpenoids. We further show that DGC7 arose relatively recently in the Oryza genus, and that it was partly formed in Oryza rufipogon and positively selected for in japonica during domestication. Casbene-synthesizing enzymes that are functionally equivalent to OsTPS28 are present in several species of Euphorbiaceae but gene tree analysis shows that these and other casbene-modifying enzymes have evolved independently. As such, combining casbene-modifying enzymes from these different families of plants may prove effective in producing a diverse array of bioactive diterpenoid natural products., Nature Research

  • Heat shock-induced resistance against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Okabe) Young et al. via heat shock transcription factors in tomato
    Nur Akbar Arofatullah; Morifumi Hasegawa; Sayuri Tanabata; Isao Ogiwara; Tatsuo Sato, *Abstract: We investigated the role of heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) during induction of defense response by heat-shock treatment (HST) in tomato. Leaf disease symptoms were significantly reduced at 12 and 24 h after HST, consistent with upregulation of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes PR1a2 and PR1b1 peaking at 24 h after treatment. These genes were upregulated at the treatment application site, but not in untreated leaves. In contrast to HST, inoculation of the first leaf induced systemic upregulation of acidic PR genes in uninoculated second leaves. Furthermore, heat shock element motifs were found in upstream regions of PR1a2, PR1b1, Chitinase 3, Chitinase 9, Glucanase A, and Glucanase B genes. Upregulation of HsfA2 and HsfB1 peaked at 6 h after HST, 6 h earlier than salicylic acid accumulation. Foliar spray of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor geldanamycin (GDA) induced PR gene expression comparable to that after HST. PR gene expression and defense response against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) decreased when combining HST with Hsfs inhibitor KRIBB11. The Hsfs and PR gene expression induced by heat or GDA, together with the suppression of heat shock-induced resistance (HSIR) against Pst by KRIBB11, suggested a direct contribution of Hsfs to HSIR regulation in tomato., MDPI

  • Xylosylated detoxification of the rice flavonoid phytoalexin sakuranetin by the rice sheath blight fungus rhizoctonia solani
    Shun Katsumata; Hiroaki Toshima; Morifumi Hasegawa, Sakuranetin (1) is a rice flavanone-type phytoalexin. We have already reported that the metabolites from the detoxification of 1 by Pyricularia oryzae are naringenin (2) and sternbin. In this study, we investigated whether the rice sheath blight fungus Rhizoctonia solani, another major rice pathogen, can detoxify 1. The extract of R. solani suspension culture containing 1 was analyzed by LC-MS to identify the metabolites of 1. Three putative metabolites of 1 were detected in the extract from the R. solani suspension culture 12 h after the addition of 1, and they were identified as 2, sakuranetin-4-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (3), and naringenin-7-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (4) by NMR, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS analyses. The accumulation of 2, 3, and 4 reached their maximum levels 9–12 h after the addition of 1, whereas the content of 1 decreased to almost zero within 9 h. The antifungal activities of 3 and 4 against R. solani were negligible, and 2 showed weaker antifungal activity than 1. We concluded that 2, 3, and 4 are metabolites from the detoxification of 1 by R. solani. Xylosylation is a rare and efficient detoxification method for phytoalexins., MDPI AG

  • Combining effects of ozone and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae on antioxidants and phytoalexins in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
    Nithiwadee Buawat; Morifumi Hasegawa; Chanin Umponstira, Ozone is the most oxidative air pollutant and considered as an abiotic stress which harm to vegetation and crop. Similarly, biological stressor such as plant pathogen could cause severe damage to crops. Combination effects from both stresses will potentially lead to economic loss. Basically, plants will response to both abiotic stress and pathogenic stressor by generate antioxidants and phytoalexins. The concentration of these chemical indicate stress level in plant and also defence system response. This research is aimed to investigate the combination effects of ozone and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae on antioxidants and phytoalexins in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. KDML 105). In this study, 45-day-old rice plants were used. Ozone was elevated at concentrations of 100, 200 and 300 ppb in the fumigating chambers for 12 hours. Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae which caused bacterial blight disease in rice was selected as plant pathogen. Combining effects of ozone and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae were examined using ozone at a concentration of 100 ppb and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae 1x108 cells/ml inoculation. The experimental design was a completely randomized design with 2 × 2 factorials treatment and three replications required. Temperature, relative humidity and light intensity in fumigating chambers were controlled. The results of the combining effects showed the amount of antioxidants and phytoalexins were higher than those in single treatment. The experimental data indicated that the combining effects will result in more stress in rice. This suggests that, in rice plantation area with experience of ozone episode, pathogenic resistance rice strain should be considered to reduce combining effects., Southern Cross Publishing and Printing Pty Ltd

  • Identification of Sternbin and Naringenin as Detoxified Metabolites from the Rice Flavanone Phytoalexin Sakuranetin by Pyricularia oryzae
    Shun Katsumata; Kazuho Hamana; Kiyotaka Horie; Hiroaki Toshima; Morifumi Hasegawa, Sakuranetin (1) is a flavanone phytoalexin that has been reported to play an important role in disease resistance in rice plants. The rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae) has been reported to metabolize 1 to lower its antifungal activity. Here, two flavanones, sternbin (2) and naringenin (3), were identified as metabolites of 1 in P.oryzae suspension culture by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The inhibition of 1, 2, and 3 on P.oryzae mycelial growth were 45%, 19%, and 19%, respectively, at a concentration of 100m. Thus, 2 and 3 are detoxified metabolites of 1 by P.oryzae., WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH

  • Characterization and evolutionary analysis of ent-kaurene synthase like genes from the wild rice species Oryza rufipogon
    Tomonobu Toyomasu; Koji Miyamoto; Matthew R. Shenton; Arisa Sakai; Chizu Sugawara; Kiyotaka Horie; Hiroshi Kawaide; Morifumi Hasegawa; Masaru Chuba; Wataru Mitsuhashi; Hisakazu Yamane; Nori Kurata; Kazunori Okada, Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) possesses various labdane-related diterpene synthase genes, homologs of ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase (CPS) and ent-kaurene synthase (KS) that are responsible for the biosynthesis of phytohormone gibberellins. The CPS homologs and KS like (KSL) homologs successively converted geranylgeranyl diphosphate to cyclic diterpene hydrocarbons via ent-copalyl diphosphate or syn-copalyl diphosphate in O. sativa. Consequently, a variety of labdane-related diterpenoids, including phytoalexin phytocassanes, momilactones and oryzalexins, have been identified from cultivated rice. Our previous report indicated that the biosynthesis of phytocassanes and momilactones is conserved in Oryza rufipogon, the progenitor of Asian cultivated rice. Moreover, their biosynthetic gene clusters, containing OsCPS2 and OsKSL7 for phytocassane biosynthesis and OsCPS4 and OsKSL4 for momilactone biosynthesis, are also present in the O. rufipogon genome. We herein characterized O. rufipogon homologs of OsKSL5, OsKSL6, OsKSL8 responsible for oryzalexin S biosynthesis, and OsKSL10 responsible for oryzalexins A-F biosynthesis, to obtain more evolutionary insight into diterpenoid biosynthesis in O. sativa. Our phytoalexin analyses showed that no accumulation of oryzalexins was detected in extracts from O. rufipogon leaf blades. In vitro functional analyses indicated that unlike OsKSL10, O. rufipogon KSL10 functions as an ent-miltiradiene synthase, which explains the lack of accumulation of oryzalexins A-F in O. rufipogon. The different functions of KSL5 and KSL8 in O. sativa japonica to those in indica are conserved in each type of O. rufipogon, while KSL6 functions (ent-isokaurene synthases) are well conserved. Our study suggests that O. sativa japonica has evolved distinct specialized diterpenoid metabolism, including the biosynthesis of oryzalexins. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.

Thymol, p-cymene, and gamma-terpinene were detected as the main volatile compounds in thyme plants. Emission of p-cymene and gamma-terpinene from thyme increased after treatment, whereas amount of thymol released did not change, suggested that existence of a thermo-dependent synthesis pathway of p-cymene and gamma-terpinene. Volatile p-cymene inhibited mycelial growth of pathogen at 0.50 mu L/ml, whereas gamma-terpinene had an inhibitory effect at 0.05, 0.10, and 0.50 mu L/ml. Transcript level of gamma-terpinene gene increased after 24 h of treatment. As a conclusion, heat treatment enhanced antifungal activity by volatile terpenoids synthesized by thermo-dependent synthesis pathway of them in thyme. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Ultraviolet-induced amides and casbene diterpenoids from rice leaves
    Kiyotaka Horie; Kengo Sakai; Misaki Okugi; Hiroaki Toshima; Morifumi Hasegawa, To discover new phytoalexins, an 80% MeOH extract of UV-irradiated rice leaves was analyzed using LC-MS, resulting in the detection of three unidentified compounds. We isolated the compounds from the UV-irradiated rice leaves using chromatographic methods and identified the compounds as N-benzoyltyramine (1), and two casbene-type diterpenes, 5-dihydro-ent-10-oxodepresssin (2) and 5-deoxo-ent-10-oxodepressin (3), using spectroscopic methods. Additionally, we compared the accumulation levels of major UV-inducible compounds in response to Magnaporthe oryzae inoculation and the antifungal activities of the compounds against M. oryzae colony growth. Although 1-3 showed negligible antifungal activity against M. oryzae, the compounds significantly accumulated in M. oryzaeinoculated rice leaves. Furthermore, we confirmed that N-benzoyltryptamine and N-cinnamoyltryptamine also accumulated after M. oryzae inoculation and have relatively high antifungal activity against M. oryzae to the same extent as phytocassanes. These results strongly support the hypothesis that the two amides are rice phytoalexins. (C) 2015 Phytochemical Society of Europe. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved., ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV

  • Eucommicin A, a beta-truxinate lignan from Eucommia ulmoides, is a selective inhibitor of cancer stem cells
    Ayaka Fujiwara; Mayuko Nishi; Shigeo Yoshida; Morifumi Hasegawa; Chieko Yasuma; Akihide Ryo; Yoshihito Suzuki, Cancer stem cells (CSCs) constitute a small population of undifferentiated cells within a tumor that have the ability to self-renew and drive tumor formation, thus behaving as cancer-initiating cancer cells. Therapeutic interventions that eliminate CSCs are necessary to completely cure patients, since CSCs are a crucial source of tumor recurrence and metastasis. An induced CSC-like (iCSCL) model was recently established using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In this study, a natural product-eucommicin A-was identified from Eucommia ulmoides leaves by screening for anti-CSC activity using the iCSCL model. Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods as a quinic acid diester of 3,4,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-beta-truxinic acid. Eucommicin A exhibited selective anti-CSC activity and inhibited tumor sphere formation by iCSCL cells. The results of this study suggest that eucommicin A could serve as a lead compound in the development of drugs to abrogate the sternness and self-renewal ability of CSCs. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

PCC 6803. Transconjugants harboring cyanobacterial expression vectors that carried the pha genes for PHB biosynthesis were constructed. The overproduction of PHB by the engineering cells was confirmed through microscopic observations using Nile red, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). We successfully recovered PHB from transconjugants prepared from nitrogen-depleted medium without sugar supplementation in which PHB reached approximately 7% (w/w) of the dry cell weight, showing a value of 12-fold higher productivity in the transconjugant than that in the control strain. We also measured the intracellular levels of acetyl-CoA, acetoacetyl-CoA, and 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA (3HB-CoA), which are intermediate products for PHB. The results obtained indicated that these products were absent or at markedly low levels when cells were subjected to the steady-state growth phase of cultivation under nitrogen depletion for the overproduction of bioplastics. Based on these results, efficient factors were discussed for the overproduction of PHB in recombinant cyanobacteria. (C) 2015, The Society for Biotechnology, Japan.

  • Identification of UV-Induced Diterpenes Including a New Diterpene Phytoalexin, Phytocassane F, from Rice Leaves by Complementary GC/MS and LC/MS Approaches
    Kiyotaka Horie; Yasuno Inoue; Miki Sakai; Qun Yao; Yosuke Tanimoto; Jinichiro Koga; Hiroaki Toshima; Morifumi Hasegawa, Rice phytoalexins are regarded as one of the most important weapons against pathogenic microorganisms. We attempted to identify novel phytoalexins and their derivatives using GC/MS and LC/MS analyses. Diterpene derivatives, 9 beta-pimara-7,15-diene-3 beta,6 beta,19-triol, 1, stemar-13-en-2 alpha-ol, 2, and 1 alpha,2 alpha-dihydroxy-ent-12,15-cassadiene-3,11-dione, 3, were isolated from UV-irradiated rice leaves by chromatographic methods. These structures were confirmed by 1D- and 2D-NMR and MS analyses. Interestingly, all three compounds were accumulated following an infection by the rice blast pathogen. Magnaporthe oryzae. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited weak antifungal activity and may be the biosynthetic intermediates of rice phytoalexins momilactones and oryzalexin S, respectively. Compound 3 exhibited relatively high inhibitory activity against the fungal mycelial growth of M. oryzae to the same extent as the known phytoalexin phytocassane A. We conclude that 3 is a member of the cassane-type phytoalexin family and propose the name phytocassane F., AMER CHEMICAL SOC

  • Adaptive significance of gall formation for a gall-inducing aphids on Japanese elm trees
    Mami Takei; Sayaka Yoshida; Takashi Kawai; Morifumi Hasegawa; Yoshihito Suzuki, Insect galls are abnormal plant tissues induced by external stimuli from parasitizing insects. It has been suggested that the stimuli include phytohormones such as auxin and cytokinins produced by the insects. In our study on the role of hormones in gall induction by the aphid Tetraneura nigriabdominalis, it was found that feedback regulation related to auxin and cytokinin activity is absent in gall tissues, even though the aphids contain higher concentrations of those phytohormones than do plant tissues. Moreover, jasmonic acid signaling appears to be compromised in gall tissue, and consequently, the production of volatile organic compounds, which are a typical defense response of host plants to herbivory, is diminished. These findings suggest that these traits of the gall tissue benefit aphids, because the gall tissue is highly sensitive to auxin and cytokinin, which induce and maintain it. The induced defenses against aphid feeding are also compromised. The abnormal responsiveness to phytohormones is regarded as a new type of extended phenotype of gall-inducing insects.

  • Analysis on Blast Fungus-Responsive Characters of a Flavonoid Phytoalexin Sakuranetin; Accumulation in Infected Rice Leaves, Antifungal Activity and Detoxification by Fungus
    Morifumi Hasegawa; Ichiro Mitsuhara; Shigemi Seo; Kazunori Okada; Hisakazu Yamane; Takayoshi Iwai; Yuko Ohashi, To understand the role of the rice flavonoid phytoalexin (PA) sakuranetin for blast resistance, the fungus-responsive characteristics were studied. Young rice leaves in a resistant line exhibited hypersensitive reaction (HR) within 3 days post inoculation (dpi) of a spore suspension, and an increase in sakuranetin was detected at 3 dpi, increasing to 4-fold at 4 dpi. In the susceptible line, increased sakuranetin was detected at 4 dpi, but not at 3 dpi, by which a large fungus mass has accumulated without HR. Induced expression of a PA biosynthesis gene OsNOMT for naringenin 7-O-methyltransferase was found before accumulation of sakuranetin in both cultivars. The antifungal activity of sakuranetin was considerably higher than that of the major rice diterpenoid PA momilactone A in vitro and in vivo under similar experimental conditions. The decrease and detoxification of sakuranetin were detected in both solid and liquid mycelium cultures, and they took place slower than those of momilactone A. Estimated local concentration of sakuranetin at HR lesions was thought to be effective for fungus restriction, while that at enlarged lesions in susceptible rice was insufficient. These results indicate possible involvement of sakuranetin in blast resistance and its specific relation to blast fungus., MDPI AG

Momilactone B was also isolated as an allelochemical exuded from rice roots. The biosynthetic genes of these phytoalexins have been identified, including six labdane-related diterpene cyclase genes such as OsCPS2, OsCPS4, OsKSL4, OsKSL7, OsKSL8 and OsKSL10. Here we identified an OsCPS4 knockdown mutant, cps4-tos, by screening Tos17 mutant lines using polymerase chain reaction. OsCPS4 encodes a syn-copalyl diphosphate synthase responsible for momilactones and oryzalexin S biosynthesis. Because Tos17 was inserted into the third intron of OsCPS4, the mature OsCPS4mRNA was detected in the cps4-tos mutant as well as the wild type. Nevertheless, mature OsCPS4 transcript levels in the cps4-tos mutant were about one sixth those in the wild type. The cps4-tos mutant was more susceptible to rice blast fungus than the wild type, possibly due to lower levels of momilactones and oryzalexin S in the mutant. Moreover, co-cultivation experiments suggested that the allelopathic effect of cps4-tos against some kinds of lowland weeds was significantly lower than that of the wild type, probably because of lower momilactone content exuded from cps4-tos roots. A reverse-genetic strategy using the cps4-tos mutant showed the possible roles of momilactones not only as phytoalexins but also as allelopathic substances., WILEY-BLACKWELL

  • Heat shock-induced resistance in strawberry against crown rot fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides
    Ani Widiastuti; Mioko Yoshino; Harufumi Saito; Keisuke Maejima; Songying Zhou; Hiromitsu Odani; Kazuhiko Narisawa; Morifumi Hasegawa; Youji Nitta; Tatsuo Sato, This present study investigated the effects of heat shock treatments in strawberry seedlings against crown rot caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Heat shock treatment at 50 degrees C for 20 s reduced the disease index of strawberry crown rot and increased chitinase 2-1 gene expression as well as free salycilic acid accumulation. Heat shock treatment did not reduce mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides. BIT(2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one,1,1-dioxide) treatment could not protect strawberry seedlings against crown rot disease. This finding suggests that heat shock induces strawberry resistance against Colletotrichum crown rot and assumes that mechanisms other than SAR probably mediated the protective effect of heat shock-induced resistance.

  • Stereoselective Synthesis of a Promising Flower-Inducing KODA Analog, (9R,12S,13R,15Z)-9-Hydroxy-12,13-methylene-10-oxooctadec-15-enoic Acid
    Shin Shimomura; Shuho Oyama; Kyohei Nakano; Morifumi Hasegawa; Hiroaki Toshima, Stereoselective synthesis of a promising flower-inducing 9,10-ketol octadecadienoic acid (KODA) analog, (9R,12S,13R,15Z)-9-hydroxy-12,13-methylene-10-oxooctadec-15-enoic acid, was designed to obtain the desired stereoisomer via coupling between chiral sulfone and aldehyde segments. A known chiral cyclopropane derivative was converted to the sulfone segment via carbon-chain elongation and sulfonylation. Dec-9-en-1-ol was converted to the aldehyde segment, whose C-9 configuration was introduced by Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation. Coupling of the both segments and subsequent assembly gave the desired (9R,12S,13R,15Z)analog. The (9S,12S,13R,15Z)-analog was also synthesized by using the enatiomeric aldehyde segment. This strategy made it possible to synthesize the remaining stereoisomeric analogs., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

The H-1- and C-13-NMR spectra of 1 were identical to those of 10-oxodepressin (2), a casbane-type diterpene derived from the soft coral, Sinularia depressa. The specific rotation of 1 was positive, whereas that of 2 was negative. We therefore established 1 as ent-10-oxodepressin. The accumulation of 1 was also induced by an inoculation of the rice blast fungus. Compound 1 inhibited spore germination (IC50 30 ppm) and germ tube growth (IC50 10 ppm) of the rice blast fungus. We thus concluded that 1 was a novel rice phytoalexin., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

  • Heat shock-induced resistance increases chitinase-1 gene expression and stimulates salicylic acid production in melon (Cucumis melo L.)
    Ani Widiastuti; Mioko Yoshino; Morifumi Hasegawa; Youji Nitta; Tatsuo Sato, The present study continued previous research to investigate a mechanism involved in heat shock-induced resistance (HSIR) of melon seedlings. HSIR in melon seedlings increased chitinase1 gene expression 12 and 72 h after treatment. Salicylic acid β-. d-glucoside and free salicylic acid showed significant accumulation in the leaves post-treatment, 24 and 96 h for SAG
    and 96 h for free SA. We found that the treatment of heat shock on the first leaves reduced lesions of gray mold on the untreated second leaves. It was assumed that SAR occurred in HSIR, however it was not as the first mechanism. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Phytohormones and willow gall induction by a gall-inducing sawfly
    Hiroki Yamaguchi; Hiroki Tanaka; Morifumi Hasegawa; Makoto Tokuda; Tadao Asami; Yoshihito Suzuki, A variety of insect species induce galls on host plants. Several studies have implicated phytohormones in insect-induced gall formation. However, it has not been determined whether insects can synthesize phytohormones. It has also never been established that phytohormones function in gall tissues. Liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) were used to analyse concentrations of endogenous cytokinins and the active auxin IAA in the gall-inducing sawfly (Pontania sp.) and its host plant, Salix japonica. Feeding experiments demonstrated the ability of sawfly larvae to synthesize IAA from tryptophan. Gene expression analysis was used to characterize hormonal signalling in galls. Sawfly larvae contain high concentrations of IAA and t-zeatin, and produce IAA from tryptophan. The glands of adult sawflies, the contents of which are injected into leaves upon oviposition and are involved in the initial stages of gall formation, contain an extraordinarily high concentration of t-zeatin riboside. Transcript levels of some auxin- and cytokinin-responsive genes are significantly higher in gall tissue than in leaves. The abnormally high concentration of t-zeatin riboside in the glands strongly suggests that the sawfly can synthesize cytokinins as well as IAA. Gene expression profiles indicate high levels of auxin and cytokinin activities in growing galls., WILEY-BLACKWELL

  • Purification and Identification of Naringenin 7-O-Methyltransferase, a Key Enzyme in Biosynthesis of Flavonoid Phytoalexin Sakuranetin in Rice
    Takafumi Shimizu; Fengqiu Lin; Morifumi Hasegawa; Kazunori Okada; Hideaki Nojiri; Hisakazu Yamane, Sakuranetin, the major flavonoid phytoalexin in rice, is induced by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, CuCl2 treatment, jasmonic acid treatment, and infection by phytopathogens. It was recently demonstrated that sakuranetin has anti-inflammatory activity, anti-mutagenic activity, anti-pathogenic activities against Helicobacter pylori, Leishmania, and Trypanosoma and contributes to the maintenance of glucose homeostasis in animals. Thus, sakuranetin is a useful compound as a plant antibiotic and a potential pharmaceutical agent. Sakuranetin is biosynthesized from naringenin by naringenin 7-O-methyltransferase (NOMT). In previous research, rice NOMT (OsNOMT) was purified to apparent homogeneity from UV-treated wild-type rice leaves, but the purified protein, named OsCOMT1, exhibited caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) activity and not NOMT activity. In this study, we found that OsCOMT1 does not contribute to sakuranetin production in rice in vivo, and we purified OsNOMT using the oscomt1 mutant. A crude protein preparation from UV-treated oscomt1 leaves was subjected to three sequential purification steps, resulting in a 400-fold purification from the crude enzyme preparation. Using SDS-PAGE, the purest enzyme preparation showed a minor band at an apparent molecular mass of 40 kDa. Two O-methyltransferase-like proteins, encoded by Os04g0175900 and Os12g0240900, were identified from the 40-kDa band by MALDI-TOF/TOF analysis. Recombinant Os12g0240900 protein showed NOMT activity, but the recombinant Os04g0175900 protein did not. Os12g0240900 expression was induced by jasmonic acid treatment in rice leaves prior to sakuranetin accumulation, and the Os12g0240900 protein showed reasonable kinetic properties to OsNOMT. On the basis of these results, we conclude that Os12g0240900 encodes an OsNOMT., AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC

  • Accumulation of salicylic acid, jasmonic acid and phytoalexins in rice, Oryza sativa, infested by the white-backed planthopper, Sogatella furcifera (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)
    Hiroo Kanno; Morifumi Hasegawa; Osamu Kodama, In order to clarify the mechanism of induced resistance to blast disease in rice, Oryza sativa, that had been previously infested by the white-backed planthopper, Sogatella furcifera Horvath, we first investigated the accumulation of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) in rice plants infested by the planthopper. The results confirmed that infestation of S. furcifera strongly stimulates the production of SA and JA in rice. These results indicate that both salicylate- and jasmonate-mediated pathways (SA and JA pathways), which are involved in the general defense system in plants, were activated in rice infested by S. furcifera. Further results confirmed that S. furcifera infestation induces accumulation of a major rice diterpenoid phytoalexin, momilactone A, and a flavonoid phytoalexin, sakuranetin, which are well known as antimicrobial chemicals, particularly in blast disease caused by the blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae B. Couch. All these results strongly suggest the following hypothetical mechanism of induced-resistance to M. oryzae in rice infested by S. furcifera. First, S. furcifera releases some elicitor-active compounds, which might be produced in the salivary glands, into the rice plant during feeding. Next, the defense signal systems, SA- and JA-mediated pathways, are activated by the elicitor. Finally, phytoalexins are induced in rice as antimicrobial compounds mainly through activation of the JA-mediated pathway., SPRINGER TOKYO

  • Biomimetic Cyclization of Epoxide Precursors of Indole Mono-, Sesqui- and Diterpene Alkaloids by Lewis Acids
    Tetsuya Isaka; Morifumi Hasegawa; Hiroaki Toshima, Cyclization of the synthesized epoxide precursors of indole mono-, sesqui- and diterpene alkaloids was performed to elucidate the mechanism for biomimetic cationic cyclization to polycyclic structures. 3-(6,7-Epoxygeranyl)indole (11), 3-(10,11-epoxyfarnesyl)indole (2) and 3-(14,15-epoxygeranylgeranyl)indole (3) were respectively synthesized from geraniol, farnesol and geranylgeraniol in 6 or 7 steps. Four Lewis acids (MeAlCl2, BF3 center dot OEt2, TiCl4 and SnCl4) were applied for biomimetic cyclization of the synthesized epoxide precursors. The cyclization products (one product from 11, four products from 2, and three products from 3) were isolated after separation by chromatography. Their structures were determined by using NMR (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY, etc.) and HRMS analyses. The results show that biomimetic cyclization gave new polycyclic compounds similar to natural indole terpene alkaloids. We conclude that the stability of cation intermediates should determine the preference for product formation by biomimetic cyclization when using a Lewis acid., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

    芳野未央子; アニ・ウィディアストゥティ; 長谷川守文; 佐藤達雄, The optimum conditions and mechanisms of inducing disease resistance by heat shock were investigated against gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). The growth of inoculated mycelium was controlled most effectively by treatment at 40°C, for 2 minutes. Salicylic acid accumulated in the treated leaves under this condition and two peaks were obtained 24 and 96 hours after treatment. A pathogenesis-related protein, peroxidase gene (POX; M91372), was also expressed in the treated leaves and showed two peaks at 24 and 96 hours, respectively after treatment. Partial heat shock treatment was conducted by dipping only the first leaf of two leaves seedlings. Resistance and POX expression were induced not only in the treated leaves but also in the untreated second leaves. In conclusion, heat shock by means of hot water dipping could induce resistance against gray mold in cucumber. Systemic acquired resistance may have been obtained by some possible pathway.

A bacterial culture capable of degrading DON was obtained from soil samples collected in wheat fields using an enrichment culture procedure. The isolated bacterium, designated strain WSN05-2, completely removed 1,000 mu g/mL of DON from the culture medium after incubation for 10 days. On the basis of phylogenetic studies, WSN05-2 was classified as a bacterium belonging to the genus Nocardioides. WSN05-2 showed significant growth in culture medium with DON as the sole carbon source. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis indicated the presence of a major initial metabolite of DON in the culture supernatant. The metabolite was identified as 3-epi-deoxynivalenol (3-epi-DON) by mass spectrometry and (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The amount of DON on wheat grain was reduced by about 90% at 7 days after inoculation with WSN05-2. This is the first report of a Nocardioides sp. strain able to degrade DON and of the yet unknown 3-epi-DON as an intermediate in the degradation of DON by a microorganism., SPRINGER

  • Cyanide, a Coproduct of Plant Hormone Ethylene Biosynthesis, Contributes to the Resistance of Rice to Blast Fungus
    Shigemi Seo; Ichiro Mitsuhara; Jiao Feng; Takayoshi Iwai; Morifumi Hasegawa; Yuko Ohashi, Rice (Oryza sativa) plants carrying the Pi-i resistance gene to blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae restrict invaded fungus in infected tissue via hypersensitive reaction or response (HR), which is accompanied by rapid ethylene production and formation of small HR lesions. Ethylene biosynthesis has been implicated to be important for blast resistance; however, the individual roles of ethylene and cyanide, which are produced from the precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, remain unevaluated. In this study, we found that Pi-i-mediated resistance was compromised in transgenic rice lines, in which ethylene biosynthetic enzyme genes were silenced and then ethylene production was inhibited. The compromised resistance in transgenic lines was recovered by exogenously applying cyanide but not ethephon, an ethylene-releasing chemical in plant tissue. In a susceptible rice cultivar, treatment with cyanide or 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid induced the resistance to blast fungus in a dose-dependent manner, while ethephon did not have the effect. Cyanide inhibited the growth of blast fungus in vitro and in planta, and application of flavonoids, secondary metabolites that exist ubiquitously in the plant kingdom, enhanced the cyanide-induced inhibition of fungal growth. These results suggested that cyanide, whose production is triggered by HR in infected tissue, contributes to the resistance in rice plants via restriction of fungal growth., AMER SOC PLANT BIOLOGISTS

  • Phytoalexin Accumulation in the Interaction Between Rice and the Blast Fungus
    Morifumi Hasegawa; Ichiro Mitsuhara; Shigemi Seo; Takuya Imai; Jinichiro Koga; Kazunori Okada; Hisakazu Yamane; Yuko Ohashi, Blast fungus induced accumulations of major rice diterpene phytoalexins (PA), momilactones A and B, and phytocassanes A through E were studied, focusing on their biosynthesis and detoxification. In resistant rice, all PA started to accumulate at 2 days postinoculation (dpi), at which hypersensitive reaction (HR)-specific small lesions became visible and increased 500- to 1,000-fold at 4 dpi, while the accumulation was delayed and several times lower in susceptible rice. Expression of PA biosynthetic genes was transiently induced at 2 dpi only in resistant plants, while it was highly induced in both plants at 4 dpi. Fungal growth was severely suppressed in resistant plants by 2 dpi but considerably increased at 3 to 4 dpi in susceptible plants. Momilactone A treatment suppressed fungal growth in planta and in vitro, and the fungus detoxified the PA in vitro. These results indicate that HR-associated rapid PA biosynthesis induces severe restriction of fungus, allowing higher PA accumulation in resistant rice, while in susceptible rice, failure of PA accumulation at the early infection stage allows fungal growth. Detoxification of PA would be a tactic of fungus to invade the host plant, and prompt induction of PA biosynthesis upon HR would be a trait of resistant rice to restrict blast fungus., AMER PHYTOPATHOLOGICAL SOC

  • Contribution of momilactone A and B to rice allelopathy
    Hisashi Kato-Noguchi; Morifumi Hasegawa; Takeshi Ino; Katsumi Ota; Hiroya Kujime, Eight cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.) inhibited shoot and root growth of Echinochloa crus-galli when co-cultured with rice seedlings in a bioassay medium. Momilactone A and B were found in the bioassay medium of all rice cultivars, and concentrations of momilactone A and B in the medium were 0.21-1.5 and 0.66-3.8 mu mol/L, respectively, indicating that all rice cultivars may secrete momilactone A and B into the medium. Exogenously applied momilactone A and B inhibited the growth of shoots and roots of E. crus-galli at concentrations greater than 30 and 1 mu mol/L, respectively. The concentrations required for 50% growth inhibition of E. crus-galli shoots and roots, respectively, were 146 and 91 mu mol/L for momilactone A and 6.5 and 6.9 mu mol/L for momilactone B. Considering the growth inhibitory activity and concentrations found in the bioassay medium, momilactone A may have caused only 0.8-2.2% of the observed growth inhibition of E. crus-galli roots and shoots by rice. However, momilactone B in the medium was estimated to be able to cause 59-82% of the observed growth inhibition of E. crus-galli roots and shoots by the rice seedlings. In addition, the concentrations of momilactone B in the medium reflected the observed differences in the growth inhibition of E. crus-galli by the eight rice cultivars investigated. This suggests that the allelopathic activity of rice may depend primarily on the secretion level of momilactone B. Therefore, momilactone B may play a very important role in rice allelopathy.

  • Suppression of the Rice Fatty-Acid Desaturase Gene OsSSI2 Enhances Resistance to Blast and Leaf Blight Diseases in Rice
    Chang-Jie Jiang; Masaki Shimono; Satoru Maeda; Haruhiko Inoue; Masaki Mori; Morifumi Hasegawa; Shoji Sugano; Hiroshi Takatsuji, Fatty acids and their derivatives play important signaling roles in plant defense responses. It has been shown that suppressing a gene for stearoyl acyl carrier protein fatty-acid desaturase (SACPD) enhances the resistance of Arabidopsis (SSI2) and soybean to multiple pathogens. In this study, we present functional analyses of a rice homolog of SSI2 (OsSSI2) in disease resistance of rice plants. A transposon insertion mutation (Osssi2-Tos17) and RNAi-mediated knockdown of OsSSI2 (OsSSI2-kd) reduced the oleic acid (18:1) level and increased that of stearic acid (18: 0), indicating that OsSSI2 is responsible for fatty-acid desaturase activity. These plants displayed spontaneous lesion formation in leaf blades, retarded growth, slight increase in endogenous free salicylic acid (SA) levels, and SA/benzothiadiazole (BTH)-specific inducible genes, including WRKY45, a key regulator of SA/BTH-induced resistance, in rice. Moreover, the OsSSI2-kd plants showed markedly enhanced resistance to the blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea and leaf-blight bacteria Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. These results suggest that OsSSI2 is involved in the negative regulation of defense responses in rice, as are its Arabidopsis and soybean counterparts. Microarray analyses identified 406 genes that were differentially expressed (>= 2-fold) in OsSSI2-kd rice plants compared with wild-type rice and, of these, approximately 39% were BTH responsive. Taken together, our results suggest that induction of SA-responsive genes, including WRKY45, is likely responsible for enhanced disease resistance in OsSSI2-kd rice plants., AMER PHYTOPATHOLOGICAL SOC

In this paper, we generated two JA-deficient rice lines (AOCRi and OPRRi) with suppressed expression of the genes encoding allene oxide cyclase (AOC) and 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase (OPR), which catalyze late steps in the JA biosynthetic pathway. The levels of disease resistance in the AOCRi and OPRRi lines were equal to that in wild-type plants. Our data suggest that resistance to M. grisea is not dependent on JA synthesis.

    Asanori Yara; Takashi Yaeno; Jean-Luc Montillet; Morifumi Hasegawa; Shigemi Seo; Kensuke Kusumi; Koh Iba, Linoleic acid (18:2) and linolenic acid (18:3) are sources for various oxidized metabolites called oxylipins, some of which inhibit growth of fungal pathogens. In a previous study, we found disease resistance to rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea enhanced in 18:2-accumulating transgenic rice (F78Ri) in which the conversion from 18:2 to 18:3 was suppressed. Here, we demonstrate that 18:2-derived hydroperoxides and hydroxides (HPODEs and HODEs, respectively) inhibit growth of M. grisea more strongly than their 18:3-derived counterparts. Furthermore, in F78Ri plants, the endogenous levels of HPODEs and HODEs increased significantly, compared with wild-type plants. These results suggest that the increased accumulation of antifungal oxylipins, such as HPODEs and HODEs, causes the enhancement of disease resistance against M. grisea. (c) 2008 Elsevier Inc.

  • Diterpene phytoalexins are biosynthesized in and exuded from the roots of rice seedlings
    Tomonobu Toyomasu; Takuma Kagahara; Kazunori Okada; Jinichiro Koga; Morifumi Hasegawa; Wataru Mitsuhashi; Takeshi Sassa; Hisakazu Yamane, Rice (Oryza sativa L.) produces a variety of diterpene phytoalexins, such as momilactones, phytocassanes, and oryzalexins. Momilactone B was previously identified as an allelopathic substance exuded from the roots of rice. We identified in this present study momilactone A and phytocassanes A-E in extracts of, and exudates from, the roots of rice seedlings. The concentration of each compound was of the same order of magnitude as that of momilactone B. Expression analyses of the diterpene cyclase genes responsible for the biosynthesis of momilactones and phytocassanes suggest that these phytoalexins found in roots are primarily biosynthesized in those roots. None of phytocassanes B-E exhibited allelopathic activity against dicot seedling growth, whereas momilactone A showed much weaker allelopathic activity than momilactone B. The exudation of diterpene phytoalexins from the roots might be part of a system for defense against root-infecting pathogens., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

Pathogen infection in rice leaves induces phytocassanes and momilactones, both of which are major diterpenoid phytoalexins in rice, whereas CA mainly induces phytocassanes. We established a high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry protocol for the rapid and accurate quantification of phytocassanes and momilactones. Using this method, we showed that CA preferentially induced the formation of phytocassanes in suspension-cultured rice cells, while a fungal chitin oligosaccharide elicitor induced that of both phytocassanes and momilactones. We further investigated the effects of CA on the expression of diterpene cyclase genes involved in phytoalexin biosynthesis. CA induced the transcription of the genes OsCPS2 (OsCyc2) and OsKSL7 (OsDTC1), which are involved in phytocassane biosynthesis, to a greater extent than the genes OsCPS4 (OsCyc1) and OsKSL4, which are involved in momilactone biosynthesis. OsCPS2 was particularly strongly induced, suggesting that it is one of the main mechanisms by which CA induces high levels of phytocassanes. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Defense-related signaling by interaction of arabinogalactan proteins and beta-glucosyl Yariv reagent inhibits gibberellin signaling in barley aleurone cells
    Kiyoshi Mashiguchi; Eriko Urakami; Morifumi Hasegawa; Kazutsuka Sanmiya; Ichiro Matsumoto; Isomaro Yamaguchi; Tadao Asami; Yoshihito Suzuki, Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins present at the plasma membrane and in extracellular spaces. A synthetic chemical, beta-glucosyl Yariv reagent (beta-GlcY), binds specifically to AGPs. We previously reported that gibberellin signaling is specifically inhibited by beta-GlcY treatment in barley aleurone protoplasts. In the present study, we found that beta-GlcY also inhibited gibberellin-induced programmed cell death (PCD) in aleurone cells. We examined the universality and specificity of the inhibitory effect of beta-GlcY on gibberellin signaling using microarray analysis and found that beta-GlcY was largely effective in repressing gibberellin-induced gene expression. In addition, >100 genes were up-regulated by beta-GlcY in a gibberellin-independent manner, and many of these were categorized as defense-related genes. Defense signaling triggered by several defense system inducers such as jasmonic acid and a chitin elicitor could inhibit gibberellin-inducible events such as alpha-amylase secretion, PCD and expression of some gibberellin-inducible genes in aleurone cells. Furthermore, beta-GlcY repressed the gibberellin-inducible Ca(2+)-ATPase gene which is important for gibberellin-dependent gene expression, and induced known repressors of gibberellin signaling, two WRKY genes and a NAK kinase gene. These effects of beta-GlcY were also phenocopied by the chitin elicitor and/or jasmonic acid. These results indicate that gibberellin signaling is under the regulation of defense-related signaling in aleurone cells. It is also probable that AGPs are involved in the perception of stimuli causing defense responses., OXFORD UNIV PRESS

Populations of total culturable bacteria and OPEOn (1000 mg L-1)-resistant bacteria increased 10 times and 46 times, respectively, during the percolation. 16S rRNA gene sequencing of 128 OPEOn-resistant isolates revealed an increase in the population level of Alphaproteobacteria and decreases in levels of Betaproteobacteria and Actinobacteria with the exposure to the compound. Four OPEOn-degrading strains were isolated and characterized as being related to Bradyrhizobium liaoningense (3 strains) and Afipia sp.

  • Identification of a biosynthetic gene cluster in rice for momilactones

The common substrate geranylgeranyl diphosphate is converted into diterpene hydrocarbon precursors via a two-step sequential cyclization and then into the bioactive phytoalexins via several oxidation steps. It has been suggested that microsomal cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases (P-450s) are involved in the downstream oxidation of the diterpene hydrocarbons leading to the phytoalexins and that a dehydrogenase is involved in momilactone biosynthesis. However, none of the enzymes involved in the downstream oxidation of the diterpene hydrocarbons have been identified. In this study, we found that a putative dehydrogenase gene (AK103462) and two functionally unknown P-450 genes (CYP99A2 and CYP99A3) form a chitin oligosaccharide elicitor- and UV-inducible gene cluster, together with OsKS4 and OsCyc1, the diterpene cyclase genes involved in momilactone biosynthesis. Functional analysis by heterologous expression in Escherichia coli followed by enzyme assays demonstrated that the AK103462 protein catalyzes the conversion of 3 beta-hydroxy- 9 beta H-pimara-7,15-dien-19,6 beta-olide into momilactone A. The double knockdown of CYP99A2 and CYP99A3 specifically suppressed the elicitor-inducible production of momilactones, strongly suggesting that CYP99A2, CYP99A3, or both are involved in momilactone biosynthesis. These results provide strong evidence for the presence on chromosome 4 of a gene cluster involved in momilactone biosynthesis., AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC

  • Disease resistance against Magnaporthe grisea is enhanced in transgenic rice with suppression of omega-3 fatty acid desaturases
    Asanori Yara; Takashi Yaeno; Morifumi Hasegawa; Hideharu Seto; Jean-Luc Montillet; Kensuke Kusumi; Shigetni Seo; Koh Iba, Linolenic acid (18:3) is the most abundant fatty acid in plant membrane lipids and is a source for various oxidized metabolites, called oxylipins. 18:3 and oxylipins play important roles in the induction of defense responses to pathogen infection and wound stress in Arabidopsis. However, in rice, endogenous roles for 18:3 and oxylipins in disease resistance have not been confirmed. We generated 18:3-deficient transgenic rice plants (F78Ri) with co-suppression of two omega-3 fatty acid desaturases, OsFAD7 and OsFAD8. that synthesize 18:3. The F78Ri plants showed enhanced resistance to the phytopathogenic fungus Magnaporthe grisea. A typical 18:3-derived oxylipin, jasmonic acid (JA), acts as a signaling molecule in defense responses to fungal infection in Arabidopsis. However, in F78Ri plants, the expression of JA-responsive pathogenesis-related genes, PBZI and PR1b, was induced after inoculation with M. grisea, although the JA-mediated wound response was suppressed. Furthermore, the application of JA methyl ester had no significant effect on the enhanced resistance in F78Ri plants. Taken together, our results indicate that, although suppression of fatty acid desaturases involves the concerted action of varied oxylipins via diverse metabolic pathways, 18:3 or 18:3-derived oxylipins, except for JA, may contribute to signaling on defense responses of rice to M. grisea infection., OXFORD UNIV PRESS

  • 酵母抽出液(アグリボEX)処理によるPR遺伝子群発現誘導機構の解析
    小原直美; 光原一朗; 瀬尾茂美; 大橋祐子; 長谷川守文; 松浦雄介, Application of AGREVO EX, a plant energizer made of yeast extract (YE), promotes root growth and suppresses plant diseases. Because no antimicrobial activity was found in the YE itself, YE induction of the plant's self-defense system has been suggested. To study the mechanism of enhanced disease resistance, the effect of YE on the expression of defense-related genes was analyzed in detached tobacco leaves. YE induced the expression of basic PR-1, -2, and -6 genes but not the acidic PR-1 gene. The YE solution itself produced ethylene, and ethylene emission from tobacco leaf discs was enhanced by the YE treatment. Also YE induced accumulation of PR-1, -2, and -3 proteins, and its suppression by treatment with silver thiosulfate (STS), which inhibits the perception of ethylene, suggesting the involvement of ethylene in YE-induced PR protein accumulation. The YE treatment did not induce resistance to Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), but likely induced resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum and Rhizoctonia solani in tobacco plants, suggesting that YE may enhance resistance against necrotrophic pathogens., The Phytopathological Society of Japan (PSJ)

  • Isolation and molecular characterization of a Spotted leaf 18 mutant by modified activation-tagging in rice
    Masaki Mori; Chikako Tomita; Kazuhiko Sugimoto; Morifumi Hasegawa; Nagao Hayashi; Joseph G. Dubouzet; Hirokazu Ochiai; Hitoshi Sekimoto; Hirohiko Hirochika; Shoshi Kikuchi, A lesion mimic mutant that we designated Spotted leaf 18 (Spl18) was isolated from 13,000 activation-tagging lines of rice produced by our modified activation-tagging vector and further characterized. Spl18 was dominant and its phenotype was linked to the T-DNA insertion. An ORF was located about 500 bp downstream of the inserted T-DNA, and the deduced protein, designated OsAT1, showed sequence similarity to an acyltransferase whose expression is induced by hypersensitive reaction in tobacco. The transcriptional level of OsAT1 was very low in the WT leaf blade but high in Spl18 leaf blade. In wild-type rice, OsAT1 was transcribed mainly in the young panicle, in the panicle just after heading, and in the leaf sheath. In addition, transcription of the genes for PR protein was upregulated in Spl18, accumulation of phytoalexins (both momilactone A and sakuranetin) was increased, and resistance to blast disease was improved. We then combined OsAT1 genomic DNA downstream of the modified 35S promoter and re-transformed it into rice. Lesion mimic and blast resistance phenotypes were detected in the transgenic lines produced, clearly indicating that overexpression of OsAT1 caused the Spl18 phenotypes. In addition, plants overexpressing OsAT1 showed resistance to bacterial blight., SPRINGER

  • Sequential regulation of gibberellin, brassinosteroid, and jasmonic acid biosynthesis occurs in rice coleoptiles to control the transcript levels of anti-microbial Thionin genes
    Yukihiro Kitanaga; Cui Jian; Morifumi Hasegawa; Junshi Yazaki; Naoki Kishimoto; Shoshi Kikuchi; Hidemitsu Nakamura; Hiroaki Ichikawa; Tadao Asami; Shigeo Yoshida; Isomaro Yamaguchi; Yoshihito Suzuki, Transcripts of thionin genes encoding antimicrobial peptides were present at a high level in rice coleoptiles just after germination, and decreased to an undetectable level after about 3 d, but this decline was suppressed by co-treatment with gibberellic acid (GA3) and brassinolide (BL). The temporal expression patterns of key enzyme genes for the biosyntheses of gibberellins (GAs) and brassinosteroids (BRs) were correlated with the fluctuation of thionin mRNAs. Jasmonic acid (JA) replaced the effect of GA3 and BL, and its change in endogenous level was parallel to that of the thionin genes. These results strongly suggest that thionin gene expression was positively regulated by JA, whose endogenous level was synergistically regulated by GAs and BRs. In contrast, thionin gene expression in etiolated seedlings remained high while the endogenous level of JA was low, suggesting the presence of another signaling pathway in the dark to maintain the thionin level., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

  • Cloning and functional analysis of caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase from rice (Oryza sativa)
    Fengqiu Lin; Go Yamano; Morifumi Hasegawa; Hiroyuki Anzai; Shinji Kawasaki; Osamu Kodama, Corresponding, A putative O-methyltransferase cDNA was cloned from UV-irradiated rice leaves based on an amino acid sequence reported as that of naringenin 7-O-methyltransferase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of a rice phytoalexin, sakuranetin. However, the recombinant protein (approximately 41 kDa) expressed in Escherichia coli showed not naringenin 7-O-methyltransferase activity but caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase activity. Semi-quantitative RTPCR revealed that the mRNA was expressed in all tissues tested and was not affected by CuCl2, jasmonic acid or UV treatment. The enzyme also methylated flavonoids which have two adjacent hydroxyl groups in the B ring. (c) Pesticide Science Society of Japan., PESTICIDE SCI SOC JAPAN

  • Similarities and differences between the characteristics of gibberellin-binding protein and gibberellin 2-oxidases in adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) seedlings
    SH Park; M Nakajima; M Hasegawa; Yamaguchi, I, Gibberellin-binding proteins (GBPs) were purified ca. 230,000 fold. The characteristics of adzuki GBP were examined and compared with those of a recombinant gibberellin 2-oxidase (rVaGA2oxA1) that was fused with glutathione S-transferase (GST). VaGA2oxA1 was most abundantly expressed in etiolated adzuki bean seedlings, and VaGA2oxA1 and GBPs from adzuki bean seedlings showed gibberellin-binding activity when incubated with 2-oxoglutarate and Co2+. Both rVaGA2oxA1 and partially purified GBPs from adzuki bean seedlings showed very similar selectivity to gibberellins in binding assays, where biologically active gibberellins such as GA(4), GA(3), GA(7), and GA(1) showed higher binding affinity than biologically inactive gibberellins such as GA(8), GA(34), and 3-epi-GA(4). The polyclonal antibody raised against rVaGA2oxA1 cross-reacted with all rVaGA2oxs (rVaGA2oxA1, rVaGA2oxA2, rVaGA2oxB1, rVaGA2oxB2, and rVaGA2oxB3) whose cDNAs were cloned from adzuki bean seedlings. Treated with the antibody, the recombinants that originally showed gibberellin-binding activity lost both binding activity and enzymatic activity. In contrast to the recombinants, the gibberellin-binding activity of GBPs from adzuki bean seedlings was hardly affected by the antibody treatment. The GBPs showed very weak gibberellin 2-oxidase-like activity, and it was not affected by the antibody treatment either. These observations suggest that a major component that showed GA-binding activity was apparently different from any gibberellin 2-oxidase cloned from the seedlings., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

  • Rice fatty acid alpha-dioxygenase is induced by pathogen attack and heavy metal stress: activation through jasmonate signaling
    T Koeduka; K Matsui; M Hasegawa; Y Akakabe; T Kajiwara, Plant fatty acid alpha-dioxygenases (DOXs) catalyze the stereospecific conversion of fatty acids into the corresponding (R)-2-hydroperoxy fatty acids. In several plant species the corresponding gene was shown to be induced by pathogen infection, herbivore attack and environmental stresses. The precise signaling pathway accountable for the induction remains unidentified. In the present study, the effects of bacterial infection, oxidative- and heavy metal-stresses, and plant signaling molecules such as jasmonate, salicylic acid (SA), and ethylene (ET) on expression of a fatty acid alpha-DOX (OsDOX) gene in rice seedlings were investigated. The rice blight bacteria, Xanthomonas oryzae, elicited the accumulation of OsDOX transcripts in the leaves in both the incompatible and compatible interactions. Treating the seedling with CuSO4 also significantly enhanced the OsDOX expression. The degree of induction was shown to be mostly parallel to the level of endogenous jasmonic acid (JA) in the leaves. In contrast, SA was little effective and ET down-regulated not only the OsDOX expression but also the endogenous level of JA in rice seedlings. These results suggested that the OsDOX gene expression by a variety of stress-related stimuli was activated through jasmonate signaling and was negatively regulated by ET (c) 2005 Elsevier GmbH.

These JA derivatives, excepting the JA-fluoresceine conjugate, exhibited significant biological activities in a rice seedling assay, a rice phytoalexin-inducing assay, and/or a soybean phenylalanine ammonia-lyase-inducing assay. These A derivatives could therefore be useful probes for identifying JA-binding proteins. The activity spectra of the prepared compounds were different from each other, suggesting that different types of JA receptors were involved in the perception of A derivatives in the respective bioassays., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

  • Enhanced resistance to blast fungus and bacterial blight in transgenic rice constitutively expressing OsSBP, a rice homologue of mammalian selenium-binding proteins
    Kazutoshi Sawada; Morifumi Hasegawa; Lena Tokuda; Junko Kameyama; Osamu Kodama; Takayuki Kohchi; Kazuya Yoshida; Atsuhiko Shinmyo, The rice Oryza sativa selenium-binding protein homologue (OsSBP) gene encodes a homologue of mammalian selenium-binding proteins, and it has been isolated as one of the genes induced by treating a plant with a cerebroside elicitor from rice blast fungus. The possible role of OsSBP in plant defense was evaluated by using a transgenic approach. Plants overexpressing OsSBP showed enhanced resistance to a virulent strain of rice blast fungus as well as to rice bacterial blight. The expression of defense-related genes and the accumulation of phytoalexin after infection by rice blast fungus were accelerated in the OsSBP overexpressors. A higher level of H2O2 accumulation and reduced activity of such scavenging enzymes as ascorbate peroxidase and catalase were seen when the OsSBP-overexpressing plants were treated with the protein phosphatase 1 inhibitor, calyculin A. These results suggest that the upregulation of OsSBP expression conferred enhanced tolerance to different pathogens, possibly by increasing plant sensitivity to endogenous defense responses. Additionally, the OsSBP protein might have a role in modulating the defense mechanism to biotic stress in rice., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

    Anotai Atawong; Morifumi Hasegawa; Osamu Kodama, Corresponding, Momilactone A, a major rice diterpene phytoalexin, could be synthesized by dehydrogenation at the 3-position of 3beta-hydroxy-9beta-pimara-7,15-dien-19,6beta-olide in rice leaves. The presence of 3beta-hydroxy-9beta-pimara-7,15-dien-19,6beta-olide in UV-irradiated rice leaves was confirmed by comparing the mass spectra and retention times after a GC/MS analysis of the natural and synthetic compounds. The soluble protein fraction from UV-irradiated rice leaves showed dehydrogenase activity to convert 3beta-hydroxy-9beta-pimara-7,15-dien-19,6betaolide into momilactone A. The enzyme required NAD(+) or NADP(+) as a hydrogen acceptor. The optimum pH for the reaction was 8. The K-m value to 3beta-hydroxy-9beta-pimara-7,15-dien-19,6beta-olide was 36 mum when NAD(+) was supplied as a cofactor at a concentration of 1 mm. 3beta-Hydroxy-9beta-pimara-7,15-dien-19,6beta-olide and its dehydrogenase activity were induced in a time-dependent manner by UV irradiation., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

  • Organic Nutrient-dependent Degradation of Branched Nonylphenol by Sphingomonas sp. YT Isolated from a River Sediment Sample
    Ynte P. De Vries; Yoshiharu Takahara; Yoko Ikunaga; Yuuji Ushiba; Morifumi Hasegawa; Yasuhiro Kasahara; Hirofumi Shimomura; Shunji Hayashi; Yoshikazu Hirai, A conventional enrichment culture on branched nonylphenol (NP) with diluted nutrient broth as an additional source of organic nutrients yielded a bacterial strain able to degrade branched NP. The isolate (designated YT) was identified as Sphingomonas sp. based on an analysis of its 16S ribosomal RNA genes and cellular lipids. The degradation of NP by strain YT occurred primarily during the exponential phase of cell growth in cultures on a yeast extract-mineral salts medium. The degree of degradation was directly proportional to the amount of yeast extract present in the medium and no significant growth occurred when NP was the sole source of carbon and energy. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of resting cell suspensions incubated with branched NP revealed that the degradation did not yield any metabolites containing aromatic residues but only branched alcohols. When a linear NP was used as the target substrate, GS-MS of the suspensions indicated the appearance of a hydroxylated linear NP as an intermediate during the degradation. Strain YT is expected to attack NP by an initial oxidative cleavage of the phenol ring. © 2001, Japanese Society of Microbial Ecology &

  • Induced accumulation of 2-hydroxy-4,7-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one glucoside (HDIMBOA-Glc) in maize leaves
    Akira Oikawa; Atsushi Ishihara; Morifumi Hasegawa; Osamu Kodama; Hajime Iwamura, Accumulation of 2-(2-hydroxy-4,7-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one)-beta -D-glucopyranose (HDM BOA-Glc) was induced in maize leaves by treatment with CuCl(2), chitopentaose, penta-N-acetylchitopentaose, or jasmonic acid (JA). The accumulation of HDMBOA-Glc was accompanied by a decrease in level of 2-(2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one)-beta -D-glucopyranose (DIMBOA-Glc). When the leaf segments were treated with JA in the presence of [Me-(2)H(3)]L-methionine, the label was efficiently incorporated into HDMBOA-Glc, while no incorporation into DIMBOA-Glc or HMBOA-Glc was detected, suggesting the conversion of constitutive DIMBOA-Glc to HDMBOA-Glc by methylation at the 4-position. Levels of endogenous 5.4 and its leucine conjugate transiently increased prior to the accumulation of HDMBOA-Glc in leaf segments treated with CuCl(2) and chitopentaose. The lipoxygenase inhibitor ibuprofen suppressed the accumulation of HDMBOA-Glc induced by CuCl(2) treatment, and the reduced accumulation of HDMBOA-Glc was recovered by addition of JA. These findings suggested that JA functions as a signal transducer in the induction of HDMBOA-Glc accumulation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved., PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD

  • Methionine-induced phytoalexin production in rice leaves
    Yumiko Nakazato; Shigeru Tamogami; Hiroshi Kawai; Morifumi Hasegawa; Osamu Kodama, The application of methionine on wounded rice leaves induced the production of rice phytoalexins, sakuranetin and momilactone A. This induction resulted from stimulation of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and naringenin 7-O-methyltransferase activity. Jasmonic acid, ethylene, and active oxygen species are important as signal transducers in disease resistance mechanisms. However, although the endogenous level of jasmonic acid rapidly increased in reaction to wound, methionine treatment could not induced endogenous JA production. Ethylene induced the production of the flavonoid phytoalexin, sakuranetin, but did not induce the production of :a terpenoid phytoalexin, momilactone A. On the other hand, a free radical scavenger, Tiron, counteracted the induction of both sakuranetin and momilactone A production in methionine-treated leaves. Active oxygen species may be important in methionine-induced production of phytoalexins., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

    Masatoshi Nakajima; Keiji Takita; Hideki Wada; Kenji Mihara; Morifumi Hasegawa; Isomaro Yamaguchi; Noboru Murofushi, Little is known about mechanisms for the perception of gibberellin (GA), a phytohormone, by plants. A GA-binding protein (GBP) with receptor-like characteristics was partially purified from azuki bean (Azukia angularis) seedlings. Gibberellins that caused much elongation of azuki epicotyl sections showed strong binding affinity for the GBP, and their biosynthetic precursors and inactive metabolites had weak affinity for it. The apparent K-d value for GA(4) was calculated to be 7 x 10(-10) M from Scatchard plots. The molecular weight of the GBP in the native state was estimated to be 25,000 by high-performance liquid chromatography with a gel-permeation column. The GBP may be one of the receptor candidates for GAs. (C) 1997 Academic Press., ACADEMIC PRESS INC

Activity of the naringenin 7-O-methyltransferase was nor found in healthy rice leaves but increased upon irradiation with UV light in parallel with increase in sakuranetin. The autoradiogram of the enzymatic product on 2D-TLC was found to be sakuranetin. The enzyme did not methylate sakuranetin, but methylated other flavanones, but not isoflavanones.

    Morifumi Hasegawa; Masatoshi Nakajima; Kazuyoshi Takeda; Isomaro Yamaguchi; Noboru Murofushi, Lead, Endogenous gibberellins in anthers of rice (Oryza sativa, cv, Nihonmasari (normal)) and in male sterile lines derived from Nihonmasari were quantitated by an immunoassay, The content of GA(4/7) and the dry weight of the anthers in the normal rice increased rapidly 1-2 days before heading. The content of gibberellins in the male sterile rice were roughly correlated with the pollen developmental stage characteristic of each line., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

  • Immunohistochemistry of gibberellins in rice anthers
    Morifumi Hasegawa; Nobuyoshi Hashimoto; Jun Zhang; Masatoshi Nakajima; Kazuyoshi Takeda; Isomaro Yamaguchi; Noboru Murofushi, Lead, A new immunohistochemical method for analyzing the localization of gibberellins was developed and applied to rice anthers. This method uses 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide gas fixation to prevent the drift of gibberellins during the fixation procedure, Spikelets before anthesis were frozen in liquid nitrogen and lyophilized, They were then fixed with diisopropylcarbodiimide gas in a desiccator, which catalyzed amide formation between the 7-carboxyl groups of gibberellins and the amino groups of proteins in the tissue, The fixed spikelets were embedded in paraffin and sectioned, the sections being stained with the anti-GA(1)-Me antibody and visualized by using an immunoperoxidase system, The anthers just before anthesis were stained well, while those 4-5 days before heading were not stained, We analyzed the gibberellins in an extract of the rice anthers by an immunoassay, using the anti-GA(1)-Me antibody, On the basis of the results, we conclude that the major substances stained in this immunohistochemical study should be 16 alpha,17-dihydroxy-16,17-dihydrogibberellin A(4)-17-O-beta-D-glucoside and 16 alpha,17-dihydroxy-16,17-dihydrogibberell A(7)-17-O-beta-D-glucoside., TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD

  • A novel gibberellin glucoside, 16a, 17-dihydroxy-16,17-dihydrogibberellin A4-17-b-D-glucoside, from rice anthers
    Morifumi Hasegawa; Masatoshi Nakajima; Kazuyoshi Takeda; Isomaro Yamaguchi; Noboru Murofushi, Lead, A novel gibberellin glucoside, which was found as an immunoreactive substance against anti-GA(4)-antibody in extracts of rice anthers, has been identified as 16 alpha,17-dihydroxy-16,17-dihydrogibberellin A(4)-17-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside by comparison of the mass spectra and Kovats retention indices after GC-MS of permethylated derivatives of the natural and synthetic compound. Co-occurrence of 16 alpha,17-dihydroxy-16,17-dihydrogibberellin A(7)-17-O-beta-D-glucoside was also indicated., PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD
