| Research Abstract |
We identified gene X repress methionine-derived glucosinolate (mGSL) synthesis, by ａ reverse genetic study on the genes up-regulated by sulfur deficiency. Gene expression of X and the homologue X' were detected and up-regulated in every tissue in Arabidopsis. By analyzing the plants disrupted and over-expressed X and X', we revealed that mGSL accumulation can be controlled by modifying X and X' transcription.
