Outline of Final Research Achievements

Five out of ten candidates of aerenchyma formation rice mutant was explained in their formation by single recessive gene. We identified newly two different loci to control aerenchyma formation by positional cloning method. A candidate1 showed severe reduction of aerenchyma formation via three mechanisms, spontaneous, induced by nitrogen deficient and oxygen deficient. Contrary, the formation induced by oxygen deficient was not reduced in a candidate 2. Taken together, aerenchyma formation of rice was controlled by at least two mechanisms, the first one was mechanism of response to environmental factors and the following one was mechanisms of aerenchyma formation itself.
