| Research Abstract |
Our studies revealed that plant immune responses are regulated by both membrane traffic and degradation system. We established the effective screening methods for novel defense activators by using ROS (reactive oxygen species) monitoring system in tobacco BY-2 cells, and found several candidates of defense activators. We believe that this system is useful for a new pesticide screening for many crops. We also identified several mutants of autophagy genes (Osatgs) in rice.
