Outline of Final Research Achievements |
ER bodies are organelles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum in plants of the Brassicales order, including Arabidopsis thaliana. A unique protein NAI2 and a β-glucosidase PYK10 are accumulated in ER bodies in A. thaliana. In this study, we investigated the role of these proteins and obtained new information for the ER body formation and function. We found that NAI2 and PYK10 were necessary and sufficient for the ER body formation. PYK10 was a myrosinase to hydrolyze glucosinolates, and it prevented the feeding damage by woodlice. These findings suggest that ER bodies are responsible for the protection against pests and pathogens.
