| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We comprehensively analyzed the effect of autophagy disruption on gene expression profile during the tapetal PCD in rice anther development using high-throughput RNA sequencing. Expression of thousands of genes, including specific transcription factors and several proteases required for tapetal degradation, fluctuated synchronously at specific stages during tapetal PCD progression in the wild type anthers, while this fluctuation showed significant delay in the autophagy-deficient mutant Osatg7-1. The state of ROS accumulation was apparently changed and suppressed in the ROS mutant during anther development. The numbers of autophagosome-like structures were reduced in the tapetum of ROS mutant at stage 10 compared to that of control plants. These results suggest that redox signals contribute to anther development as well as promoting pollen maturation, and may be involved in the regulation of tapetal autophagy in rice.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、葯発達や花粉への栄養供給細胞であるタペート細胞のPCD過程において、オートファジー誘導やレドックスシグナルの重要性に着目し、遺伝子発現・ROS蓄積を介した時空間的オートファジー制御機構の解明を進め、PCD進行過程におけるROSシグナルとオートファジー機構の生理的意義・重要性を明らかにすることが出来た。本成果は，栽培イネの花粉発達の新たな仕組みの解明だけでなく，将来的にオートファジー制御による作物の細胞内有害物質の低減化への活用が期待される。
