Reverse genetic approach to exploring genes responsible for cell-wall dynamics in supporting tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana under microgravity conditions
The Twenty-second Space Utilization Symposium (January 17-19, 2006: Science Council of Japan, Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan)
抄録(英)
Our previous study has identified 16 cell-wall related genes as strong candidates responsible for gravity-regulated formation of supporting tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana inflorescence stems (Imoto et al. 2005). In the proposed flight experiments, which is scheduled to be carried out in 2007, we will compare the expression profiles of the 16 gene products between plants grown under a microgravity conditions and a 1 g conditions, and thereby verify the role of gravity signaling in regulation of cell wall construction for supporting tissues using plant material grown and harvested in space.
