シロイヌナズナの354系統の中には、NaCl濃度を0mMから225mmに急激に変化させる試験において、対照となるCol-0系統に比べて高い耐塩性を示す系統がある。また、Zu-Oを含む数系統では、中程度の塩ストレスに暴露された後に高い耐塩性が誘導される。したがって、シロイヌナズナは塩ショックに対する耐性と塩馴化による耐性の少なくとも2種類の耐性機構を有すると思われる。シロイヌナズナの耐塩性系統の耐性メカニズムを明らかにするため、われわれはイオンビームで変異処理したZu-0の実生から塩感受性の変異体を単離した。この変異体は、SOS1遺伝子の1塩基欠失によって塩ショックストレス下で著しい生育抑制を示し、Col-0よりも塩に感受性である。しかし、この変異体はZu-0と同様に、100mMのNaClに7日間暴露した後に750mMのソルビトールに20日間暴露した後も生育することができるが、Col-0は同条件において明らかな白化を示した。したがって、塩馴化に必要な遺伝子は塩ショック耐性に必要な遺伝子とは異なり、塩や浸透圧耐性の獲得に重要な役割を果たしていると考えられる。

被引用回数:22 パーセンタイル:64.49(Biology)To assess the mutational effects of radiations in vigorously proliferating plant tissue, mutation spectrum was analyzed with seedlings via plasmid rescue method. Transgenic plants containing gene were irradiated with -rays and carbon ion beams (320 MeV C), and mutations in the gene were analyzed. Mutant frequency was significantly increased by -rays, but not by 320 MeV C. Mutation spectrum showed that both radiations increased the frequency of frameshifts and other mutations including deletion/insertion but that only -rays increased the frequency of total base substitutions. These results suggest that the type of DNA lesions which cause base substitutions were less induced by 320 MeV C than by -rays in seedlings. -rays never increased the frequencies of G:C to T:A and A:T to C:G transversions, which are caused by oxidized guanine, though 320 MeV C slightly increase the both transversions. Instead, -rays significantly increased the frequency of G:C to A:T transition. These results suggest that 8-oxoguanine has little effect on mutagenesis in cells.

被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:26.66(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)Orthologs of and genes are highly conserved in various organisms. The genome of the radioresistant bacterium possesses single orthologs of (DR_0382) and (DR_0756). Complete loss of either one or both genes did not result in any significant changes in cell growth efficiency, indicating that both genes are not essential for cell viability in , unlike the case with other species such as , and . Survival rates following DNA damage induced by hydrogen peroxide, -methyl--nitro--nitrosoguanidine, ultra violet radiation, -rays, cisplatin and mitomycin C (MMC) were compared among the wild-type strain and / null mutants. Interestingly, the null mutants exhibited high sensitivity to MMC, which mainly causes interstrand DNA cross-links. The sensitivity of the null mutants to MMC was restored to that of the wild-type by transformation with plasmids expressing these genes. These results suggest that and genes are involved in DNA repair and play a role in the repair of DNA cross-links in .

Entomopathogenic fungi, and , are important agents to control insect pests, but the fungi are highly susceptible to conventional fungicides for plant diseases such as powdery mildew. The purpose of this study is to generate mutants tolerant to benomyl, a major fungicide, using carbon ion beams. We have obtained some benomyl-tolerant mutants that were selected on medium supplemented with the fungicide (1,000 ppm). In this study, IC (half maximal inhibitory concentration) of benomyl was determined for the mutants obtained. It is suggested that the fungicide-tolerant mutants maintained a high virulence serve as highly potential biological control agents in integrated pest management programs.

Poplars are economically important trees that are favored for plantation forestry due to their capacity for rapid juvenile growth, which allows us to harvest them in a short span of time. However the rapid growth of poplar is dependent on access to plantation sites with sufficient water and this is problematic, particularly in less rainfall area. The patterns of episodic drought over the last decade suggest that the development of drought tolerant mutant plants could be a promising approach to increase sustained vegetation biomass and forest productivity. In this study, a forward genetics approach has been taken for developing drought/salt tolerant mutants by means of ion beams and in vitro regeneration system in .

exhibits extraordinary resistance to the lethal effects of ionizing radiations. This resistance has been attributed to its highly proficient DNA repair capacity. In this study, we investigated antibiotics-resistant mutant frequencies for different LET radiations in . Rifampicin is one of the antibiotics that inhibit RNA synthesis by directly interacting with the RNA polymerase beta subunit protein encoded by gene. By genetically altering the gene in genome, Rif mutant can be generated. The Rif mutant frequencies increased depending on radiation dose. The highest Rif mutant frequencies were observed at a dose range that give 10 to 10 of surviving fraction. There is the possibility that this dose range is the best dose to generate the mutants of interest for research and breeding purposes.

By using immunocytochemistry and fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS), yeast population highly expressing cellulase on the cell surface was enriched from the mutant population prepared by irradiation with carbon ion beams (220 MeV C, 100 Gy). Enzymatic activity of the enriched clones was quantified in vitro by a conventional biochemical method. Repeated FACS after irradiation with carbon ion beams was effective for selecting yeast population of interest.

We have tried to improve high temperature tolerance of USDA110, which is a superior inoculant to soybean in temperate area, using ion beam breeding technology. Consequently, we have obtained 20 high-temperature tolerant mutants, which can survive at 43C for at least 7 days. In this report, we show phenotypic characteristics of 3 mutants (strains M4, M5 and M6) that exhibit relatively higher tolerance among the mutants obtained. The colony of M4, M5 and M6 was smooth with glossy pale pink color unlike wild type. There might be a link between high temperature tolerance and these phenotypic changes. Therefore, we intend to identify factors causing these changes. The generation time of high-temperature tolerant mutants at 30C was about 1.5 h shorter than that of wild type.

The and orthologs are highly conserved in eubacteria, and the former is also widely found in the genomes of archaea and eukaryotes. , well known as a radioresistant bacterium, possesses the both orthologs, hereafter and . In this study, we successfully constructed disruptant, disruptant and double-disruptant strains. This result clearly indicated that neither nor genes is essential for cell viability in . These gene disruptant strains exhibited extreme sensitivity to mitomycin-C compare to the wild-type strain. The deficiency of and genes was complemented to restore the wild-type phenotype by introducing plasmids that express these genes.

Chrysanthemum is one of the leading cut flowers in Malaysia's cut flower industry. Due to the increasing demand of chrysanthemum cut flower, there is a need for new variety of chrysanthemum in order to compete to the ever-competitive cut flower market. Induced mutation breeding using ionizing radiation is one of the effective methods in plant breeding that resulted in generation of new mutated alleles and most unique feature. Attempt was carried out to apply mutation breeding technique using ion beam radiation to produce new variety of chrysanthemum. A pink variety of was used in this experiment. The experiment will be repeated to determine the accurate optimum irradiation dose for this variety. Meanwhile all shoots regenerated after irradiation are being sub-cultured and will be planted in the nursery.

The accelerated heavy ions deposit most of their energy close to the end of their range. Little is known about the mutational effects of ion beams near the range end, especially in plants. We analyzed the mutations occurred in the Arabidopsis gene with the emphasis on large deletions. Arabidopsis seeds obtained by crossing the wild type with mutant were used as a material. The DNA markers that can distinguish the wild type and sequence were used to detect deletions. The carbon ions near the range end induced deletions ( 6.7 kb) more frequently by 6 times than 208 MeV carbon ions.

In order to obtain horticulturally useful mutants of spp., tissue-cultured shoots were irradiated with ion beams at TIARA. The shoots were irradiated with carbon ions in the range of doses from 1 to 5 Gy. Irradiated shoots were transplanted to culture vessel for rooting. 247 plants were acclimated and then settle planted in the field. After blooming, we investigated mutants by focusing mainly on flower shape and color. As a result, several flower shape and flower color mutants are obtained even from 1-Gy irradiated shoots. We are planning to obtain more mutants by increasing study population. Thereafter, we will propagate horticulturally useful mutants and investigate the stability of their characteristics.

, a member of Polygonaceae, highly accumulates oxalate in leaves. Animals should restrict their intake because high level of oxalate causes of the poisoning. Therefore, well growing in the meadow is a target of weeding. In this study, we aim to develop a low oxalate plant that can be used as a pasture by radiation breeding. Plant seeds irradiated with several doses of rays were used to determine the germination rate and the lethal dose. As a result, the germination rate was not affected at doses up to 2000 Gy. However, the growth abnormality was shown in the lower dose. In the doses above 700 Gy, almost plants died after 1st leaf expansion. In conclusion, the 50% lethal dose (LD50) of rays was estimated to be 213 Gy for .

From 2009, ion beams have been utilized for the Sub-Project on Composition or Quality in Rice (FY 2007-2012) under the Mutation Breeding Project of the Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia (FNCA). This sub-project contributes to increase food production and to improve food quality in Asia, by developing new rice mutant varieties that are more resistant to disease, insects, and drought, or give higher yields and offer higher quality. Eight participant countries, i.e., Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, The Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam joined this project and irradiated seeds of their own rice varieties with ion beams. In FY2011, most of participant countries finished to decide the best doses for mutation induction and have started to harvest descendant plants and mutant screening.

Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed -(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. By -irradiation of chitosan in diluted solutions, low molecular weight chitosan (oligo-chitosan) can be obtained. Oligo-chitosan has potential use in agriculture. In this study, the possibility of oligo-chitosan as a plant growth promoter in tomato was investigated. The combination of oligo-chitosan and bio-pesticide was totally ineffective when tomato was treated at same time. On the other hand, the suppression effect against the pathogen significantly increased when tomato was treated with oligo-chitosan one day before transplant to soil contaminated by the pathogen. This result strongly suggests that oligo-chitosan enhances pathogen resistance in tomato seedling treated with bio-pesticide.

In the previous study, we have obtained high ethyl caproate producing Sake yeasts No.227 and No.1333 by carbon-ion irradiation. In this study, to identify the mutation sites of the mutant strains, the specific region (226 bp; nucleotide positions 3,642-3,867) in the fatty acid synthase gene that might be involved in the higher production of ethyl caproate was sequenced and compared with the corresponding sequence in the parental strain Kyokai-901. Consequently, strains No.227 and No.1333 carried G/A and A/C mutations, respectively, at nucleotide position 3,748 as a heterozygous state. This result strongly suggested that the higher production of ethyl caproate in strains No.227 and No.1333 is attributed to a dominant mutation in gene.

We have been studying ion beam-induced mutations in budding yeast S288c ( ) as a model of eukaryote cell. We report a new method to evaluate DNA lesions caused by high-LET radiation using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR is one of the most reliable methods for detecting DNA damage as the amplification stops at the site of the damage. In this study, the 804-bp region of gene was amplified by PCR reaction using a specific oligonucleotide primer set. The PCR device adopted was an Eco Real-Time PCR System (Illumina). The percentage of undamaged template DNA was tended to decrease with an increase in absorbed dose of radiation. The higher LET radiations resulted in the higher rate of decrease in undamaged template DNA. This result suggests that different types of lesions are produced on DNA depending on the LET value of radiations.

The LOH (loss of heterozygosity) induction by various ion beam radiations was investigated in diploid . The ion beams C, C, He and Ar at the lowest dose (75, 75, 200 and 150 Gy, respectively), which had 30-50% lethality, induced LOH with 10-fold higher frequency. The LOH induction was predominantly (90%) resulted from gene conversion or crossover through homologous recombination, and followed by chromosome loss through chromosome mis-segregation. Induction of LOH by C was also examined in deficient in AP endonuclease (Apn1), translesion DNA polymerases Pol encoded by Rad30 and Pol encoded by Rev3 and Rev7. Pol may be involved in the induction of LOH, because a slight induction of LOH by C was observed in the Rev3-deficient strain.

Biofertilizer is a substance that holds beneficial microorganisms for plant growth in the carrier such as peat, perlite, charcoal and soil. To use biofertilizer more efficiently, it is necessary to keep the amount of viable inoculants in the biofertilizer for a definite period of time. -irradiation is expected to sterilize the carrier materials without changes in physical and chemical properties. In this study, to demonstrate the effectiveness of -sterilization, the survivals of inoculants were monitored for the nitrogen-fixing bacteria strain TUAT1 and sp. strain MAFF210364.
