Research Abstract

Progesterone is an animal steroid hormone that functions as a corpus luteum hormone which maintains pregnancy and implantation of fertilized egg. Recently, we identified progesterone from Arabidopsis, rice, tomato and pea, suggesting that progesterone is a ubiquitous constituent of plants. We have already found that Arabidopsis hypocotyl elongation was promoted by progesterone in the weak light condition, and these result could suggest that progesterone has biological activities in plant. To clarify the molecular mechanism of progesterone bioactivity for plant, we analyzed biological activity of progesterone onto plant development, and tried to find candidate genes related to progesterone perception.
