| Research Abstract |
We isolated a mutant showing UV-resistance from Arabidopsis FOX lines by using novel method for screening such mutants. UV resistance of the mutant was caused by more accumulation of UV-absorbing compounds. Interestingly, levels of transcription of genes coding synthesis enzymes for secondary metabolite were increased in the mutant. These results suggest that the gene, which causes UV resistance to Arabidopsis, regulate defense response against UV irradiation.
