| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In plants, maintenance of meristem function is critical to sustain the growth and viability under stressful conditions. We have aimed to understand the underlying mechanisms for such maintenance in rice. Previously, we reported that RSS1 is required for maintenance of cell division activity under stressful conditions. In this research project, we found that recombinant RSS1 protein was less denatured after heat treatment and retained binding activity to the protein phosphatase 1. We also revealed that another factor RSS3, controlling root elongation at the root tip, formed a ternary complex with bHLH and JAZ factors and had a role to repress a portion of JA-inducible genes. Moreover, over-expression of a gene encoding the CYP94C family enzyme alleviated jasmonate responsiveness and resulted in enhanced salt tolerance. The results advocate that regulation of JA responses is important for growth and viability of rice under salinity conditions.
