| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The role of flavonoids in resistance to infection with Magnaporthe oryzae (blast fungus) in rice is poorly understood. We first examined the expression profile of flavonoid biosynthesis enzyme genes after the inoculation using young rice plants cv. Nipponbare (WT) and its isogenic plant (IL7) which contains Pii resistance gene. In both WT and IL leaves, the reactions to flavone synthesis were enhanced by the infection of rice blast fungus. Among three FNS (flavone synthase) genes found in the rice genome, OsFNS I-1 and I-2 were expressed after infection in both WT and IL7, and OsFNS I-3 was strongly after infection only in IL7. Recombinant OsFNS I-3 protein showed the activity of flavone synthase, which converted flavanone into flavone. And furthermore, Pii-mediated resistance was compromised in transgenic rice lines, in which OsFNS I-3 was silenced. These results suggest that a flavone produced by OsFNS I-3, contributes to the resistance to rice blast fungus infection.
