Outline of Final Research Achievements

Cyclic GMP (cGMP) and nitrogen oxide (NO) are important signal molecules controlling vision and smooth muscle expansion of blood vessels in animal. Recently it has been clarified that photo responses, protection against infection of pathogen, root development, etc. in plants are regulated by cGMP/NO. However, their molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. We have been reported that several genes of soybean and Arabidopsis are controlled by cGMP/NO. In this study, we identified cis-elements in promoters of several cGMP/NO regulated genes, and transcription factors that bind to these cis-elements.
