Research Abstract |
Polyamine is important for various physiological processes as well as several environmental stress responses in plant. In this study, I demonstrated that one of the polyamine, spermine, is involved in high-temperature tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. Moreover, I established a quantification method of the two tetraamine, spermine and thermospermine, and also performed characterization of polyamine oxidases in Arabidopsis.
