| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study shows that the enlargement of seeds of Arabidopsis ire1 mutant (ire1a and ire1b double mutant) is caused by an increase the amount of protein bodies. Furthermore, we introduced wild type or mutated FLAG-tagged IRE1A/B genes into ire1 mutant and analyzed the transgenic plants. From these results, activation of IRE1 without sensor domain may be involved in the seed size mutation. This unusual IRE1 activation may be due to a change in the fatty acid composition of the ER membrane, unlike the ER stress response.
