| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The loss of green pigment (chlorosis) or yellowing in the leaves are the common symptoms of plant virus diseases. To elucidate which genes or proteins are involved in the development of such chlorosis or yellowing symptoms, we generated five genetically modified plants, in which chlorosis or yellowing symptoms are induced by the treatment with a chemical that does not affect plants by itself. Studies using these plants have suggested that plants' functions responsible for the defense against pathogens including viruses are also involved in the development of chlorosis or yellowing symptoms.
