Score: 10.00 | Title: Expression of a rice homeobox gene causes altered morphology of transgenic plants .
| Author: Matsuoka M Ichikawa H Saito A Tada Y Fujimura T Kano-Murakami Y | Journal: Plant Cell Citation: V : 5 ( 9 ) P : 1039-48 Year: 1993 Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub8104574 Accession (PMID): 8104574 | Abstract: We have isolated a cDNA clone encoding a homeobox sequence from rice .
DNA sequence analysis of this clone , which was designated as Oryza sativa homeobox 1 ( OSH1 ) , and a genomic clone encoding the OSH1 sequence have shown that the OSH1 gene consists of five exons and encodes a polypeptide of 361 amino acid residues .
Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis has shown that OSH1 is a single-copy gene located near the phytochrome gene on chromosome 3 .
Introduction of the cloned OSH1 gene into rice resulted in altered leaf morphology , which was similar to that of the maize morphological mutant Knotted-1 ( Kn1 ) , indicating that OSH1 is a rice gene homologous to the maize Kn1 gene .
RNA gel blot analysis has shown that the gene is primarily expressed in the shoot apices of young rice seedlings .
This finding is supported by results of transformation experiments in which the 5 flanking region of the gene directed expression of a reporter gene in the shoot apex , particularly in stipules , of transgenic Arabidopsis .
To elucidate the biological function of the OSH1 gene product , the coding region was introduced into Arabidopsis under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter .
Almost all transformants showed abnormal morphology .
The typical phenotype was the formation of clumps of abundant vegetative and reproductive shoot apices containing meristems and leaf primordia , which did not form elongated shoots .
Some transformants with a less severe phenotype formed elongated shoots but had abnormally shaped leaves and flowers with stunted sepals , petals , and stamens .
The abnormal phenotypes were inherited , and the level of expression of the introduced OSH1 correlates with the severity of the phenotype .
These findings indicate that the abnormal morphologies of the transgenic plants are caused by the expression of the OSH1 gene product and , therefore , that OSH1 is related to the plant development process . | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 2, subscore: 3.00 ]: DNA sequence analysis of this clone , which was designated as Oryza sativa homeobox 1 ( OSH1 ) , and a genomic clone encoding the OSH1 sequence have shown that the OSH1 gene consists of five exons and encodes a polypeptide of 361 amino acid residues .

Score: 9.00 | Title: Isolation and characterization of a rice homebox gene , OSH15 .
| Author: Sato Y Sentoku N Nagato Y Matsuoka M | Journal: Plant Mol . Biol . Citation: V : 38 ( 6 ) P : 983-98 Year: 1998 Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub9869405 Accession (PMID): 9869405 | Abstract: In many eukaryotic organisms including plants , homeobox genes are thought to be master regulators that establish the cellular or regional identities and specify the fundamental body plan .
We isolated and characterized a cDNA designated OSH15 ( Oryza sativa homeobox 15 ) that encodes a KNOTTED-type homeodomain protein .
Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing the OSH15 cDNA showed a dramatically altered morphological phenotype caused by disturbance of specific aspects of tobacco development , thereby indicating the involvement of OSH15 in plant development .
We analyzed the in situ mRNA localization of OSH15 through the whole plant life cycle , comparing the expression pattern with that of another rice homeobox gene , OSH1 .
In early embryogenesis , both genes were expressed as the same pattern at a region where the shoot apical meristem would develop later .
In late embryogenesis , the expression pattern of the two genes became different .
Whereas the expression of OSH1 continued within the shoot apical meristem , OSH15 expression within the shoot apical meristem ceased but became observable in a ring shaped pattern at the boundaries of some embryonic organs .
This pattern of expression was similar to that observed around vegetative or reproductive shoots , or the floral meristem in mature plants .
RNA in situ localization data suggest that OSH15 may play roles in the shoot organization during early embryogenesis and thereafter , OSH15 may be involved in morphogenetic events around the shoot apical meristem . | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 3, subscore: 2.00 ]: Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing the OSH15 cDNA showed a dramatically altered morphological phenotype caused by disturbance of specific aspects of tobacco development , thereby indicating the involvement of OSH15 in plant development .

Score: 8.00 | Title: Positive Autoregulation of a KNOX Gene Is Essential for Shoot Apical Meristem Maintenance in Rice .
| Author: Tsuda K Ito Y Sato Y Kurata N | Journal: Plant Cell Citation: V : P : Year: 2011 Type: Publisher | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub22207572 Accession (PMID): 22207572 | Abstract: Self-maintenance of the shoot apical meristem ( SAM ) , from which aerial organs are formed throughout the life cycle , is crucial in plant development .
Class I Knotted1-like homeobox ( KNOX ) genes restrict cell differentiation and play an indispensable role in maintaining the SAM .
However , the mechanism that positively regulates their expression is unknown .
Here , we show that expression of a rice ( Oryza sativa ) KNOX gene , Oryza sativa homeobox1 ( OSH1 ) , is positively regulated by direct autoregulation .
Interestingly , loss-of-function mutants of OSH1 lose the SAM just after germination but can be rescued to grow until reproductive development when they are regenerated from callus .
Double mutants of osh1 and d6 , a loss-of-function mutant of OSH15 , fail to establish the SAM both in embryogenesis and regeneration .
Expression analyses in these mutants reveal that KNOX gene expression is positively regulated by the phytohormone cytokinin and by KNOX genes themselves .
We demonstrate that OSH1 directly binds to five KNOX loci , including OSH1 and OSH15 , through evolutionarily conserved cis-elements and that the positive autoregulation of OSH1 is indispensable for its own expression and SAM maintenance .
Thus , the maintenance of the indeterminate state mediated by positive autoregulation of a KNOX gene is an indispensable mechanism of self-maintenance of the SAM .

Score: 7.00 | Title: A rice homeobox gene , OSH1 , is expressed before organ differentiation in a specific region during early embryogenesis .
| Author: Sato Y Hong SK Tagiri A Kitano H Yamamoto N Nagato Y Matsuoka M | Journal: Proc . Natl . Acad . Sci . USA Citation: V : 93 ( 15 ) P : 8117-22 Year: 1996 Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub8755613 Accession (PMID): 8755613 | Abstract: Homeobox genes encode a large family of homeodomain proteins that play a key role in the pattern formation of animal embryos .
By analogy , homeobox genes in plants are thought to mediate important processes in their embryogenesis , but there is very little evidence to support this notion .
Here we described the temporal and spatial expression patterns of a rice homeobox gene , OSH1 , during rice embryogenesis .
In situ hybridization analysis revealed that in the wild-type embryo , OSH1 was first expressed at the globular stage , much earlier than organogenesis started , in a ventral region where shoot apical meristem and epiblast would later develop .
This localized expression of OSH1 indicates that the cellular differentiation has already occurred at this stage .
At later stages after organogenesis had initiated , OSH1 expression was observed in shoot apical meristem [ except in the L1 ( tunica ) layer ] , epiblast , radicle , and their intervening it issues in descending strength of expression level with embryonic maturation .
We also performed in situ hybridization analysis with a rice organless embryo mutant , orl1 , that develops no embryonic organs .
In the orl1 embryo , the expression pattern of OSH1 was the same as that in the wild-type embryo in spite of the lack of embryonic organs .
This shows that OSH1 is not directly associated with organ differentiation , but may be related to a regulatory process before or independent of the organ determination .
The results described here strongly suggest that , like animal homeobox genes , OSH1 plays an important role in regionalization of cell identity during early embryogenesis . | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 3, subscore: 1.00 ]: Here we described the temporal and spatial expression patterns of a rice homeobox gene , OSH1 , during rice embryogenesis .
