| the incidence and effects of hybridization between cultivated rice and its related weed red rice (oryza sativa l.). | the objectives of this study were (1) to determine if hybridization occurs naturally between cultivated rice and a closely related weed, red rice (both oryza sativa l.) and (2) to determine the incidence of hybridization and possible convergence of red rice with cultivated rice. both morphological and electrophoretic characters were used to confirm the existence of hybrids. a total of 12,000 seeds were collected from red rice plants from fields of six different rice cultivars and sown in a commo ... | 1990 | 28569027 |
| co-transformation of indica rice protoplasts with gusa and neo genes. | protoplasts of the indica rice (oryza sativa l.) variety, ir54, were transiently transformed with the gusa gene and stably transformed with both the neo and gusa genes. we show that peg-mediated co-transformation of protoplasts with two genes on separate plasmids coupled with selection on kanamycin is an effective way of transferring foreign gene(s) into the indica rice genome. the efficiency of co-transformation was generally 20-30%, i.e. the frequency of kanamycin-resistant calli having both t ... | 1990 | 24226605 |
| mitochondrial dna variation in long-term tissue cultured rice lines. | the effects of long-term tissue culture on mitochondrial dnas were examined using rice (oryza sativa) cell suspension cultures. mitochondrial dnas were isolated from p. i. 353705 (an indica subspecies of rice similar to 'asam 5'), its anther-culture-derived line bl2 (an 8-year-old cell suspension culture), and five other cell lines (a1, a7, a11, a13, and a23), also derived from bl2 and independently selected for resistance to the lysine analog, s-(2-amino)-ethyl-l-cysteine. mitochondrial dnas of ... | 1990 | 24220814 |
| a polyethylene glycol-mediated protoplast transformation system for production of fertile transgenic rice plants. | we have established an efficient procedure for protoplast transformation and regeneration of fertile transgenic plants of rice (oryza sativa l.) cultivars nipponbare and taipei 309. protoplasts were mixed with a plant-expressible hygromycin resistance gene and treated with 25% (w/v) polyethylene glycol. stringent selection of transformed colonies was applied to 14-day-old regenerated protoplasts in the presence of 95 micromolar of hygromycin b for 12 days. after selection, 450 and 200 resistant ... | 1990 | 16667593 |
| mechanism for the activation of plasma membrane h-atpase from rice (oryza sativa l.) culture cells by molecular species of a phospholipid. | the activation of h(+)-atpase solubilized from plasma membrane of rice (oryza sativa l. var nipponbare) culture cells was examined by the exogenous addition of various phospholipids, free fatty acids, glycerides, polar head groups of phospholipids and molecular species of phosphatidylcholine (pc). h(+)-atpase activity appeared to be stimulated by phospholipids in the following order: asolectin > phosphatidylserine > pc > lysophosphatidylcholine > phosphatidylglycerol, and maximal atpase activati ... | 1990 | 16667556 |
| induction of pyrophosphate:fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase by anoxia in rice seedlings. | rice (oryza sativa) seeds were imbibed for 3 days and the seedlings were further incubated for 8 days in the presence of either air or nitrogen. in aerobiosis, the specific activity of pyrophosphate:fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase and that of the atp-dependent phosphofructokinase increased about fourfold. in anaerobiosis, the specific activity of atp-dependent phosphofructokinase remained stable, whereas that of pyrophosphate:fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase increased as much ... | 1990 | 16667507 |
| a repeated chromosomal dna sequence is amplified as a circular extrachromosomal molecule in rice (oryza sativa l.). | the plasmid pe10 is a pbr322-derived plasmid carrying a 4.5 kb rice (oryza sativa l.) repeated dna sequence. the cloned sequence has been shown to be amplified in cultured rice cells. the analysis of practically intact chromosomal rice dna molecules by pulsed field gel electrophoresis has now shown that the amplification is associated with the appearance of extrachromosomal molecules. in fact, pe10 hybridizes exclusively with unfractionated dna from leaf protoplasts, while it recognizes predomin ... | 1990 | 2233681 |
| screening of rice (oryza sativa l.) genotypes for physiological characters contributing to salinity resistance, and their relationship to overall performance. | phenotypic resistance of salinity is expressed as the ability to survive and grow in a salinised medium. some subjective measure of overall performance has normally been used in plant breeding programmes aimed at increasing salinity resistance, not only to evaluate progeny, but to select parents. salinity resistance has, at least implicitly, been treated as a single trait. physiological studies of rice suggest that a range of characteristics (such as low shoot sodium concentration, compartmentat ... | 1990 | 24226357 |
| double-stranded rna and male sterility in rice. | double-stranded rna (dsrna) was isolated from rice oryza sativa ssp. japonica, but not from other subspecies. the dsrna has been found in all of the examined cytoplasmic male-sterile (cms) lines of bt (chinsurah boro ii)-type rice, but was not detected in their companionate maintainer lines. it is uniquely and positivley correlated with the cms trait in bt-type rice. recently, the dsrna was also found in a nuclear malesterile (nms) rice, nongken 58s, but was not found in its normal nongken 58. t ... | 1990 | 24226462 |
| the alpha-amylase genes in oryza sativa: characterization of cdna clones and mrna expression during seed germination. | two cdna clones, pos103 and pos137, were isolated which code for distinct alpha-amylase isozymes in germinating rice seeds. sequence analysis indicated that the clones encode polypeptides of approximately 48 kda, both of which possess a signal peptide involved in directing secretion of the protein. comparison of the two rice alpha-amylase amino acid sequence showed that they are 76% similar to each other, while showing 85% to 90% similarity with other cereal alpha-amylases. a comparison of eleve ... | 1990 | 2370848 |
