We have developed an efficient system to detect and analyze DNA mutations induced by heavy-ion beams in Arabiopsis thaliana. In this system, a stable transgenic Arabidopsis line that constitutively expresses a yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) by a...
Sulfite reductase (SiR) is an important enzyme catalyzing the reduction of sulfite to sulfide during sulfur assimilation in plants. This enzyme is localized in plastids, including chloroplasts, and uses ferredoxin as an electron donor. Ferredoxin-...

The phylogenetic positions of bryophytes and charophytes, together with their genome features, are important for understanding early land plant evolution. Here we report the complete nucleotide sequence (105,340 bp) of the circular-mapping mitocho...
Chloroplast genes of higher plants are transcribed by two types of RNA polymerase that are encoded by nuclear (NEP (nuclear-encoded plastid RNA polymerase)) or plastid (PEP (plastid-encoded plastid RNA polymerase)) genomes. NEP is largely responsi...
葉緑体分裂には、進化的に保存されたバクテリア様分裂因子群と真核生物特有のダイナミン様タンパク質が関わる。バクテリア様因子のうちMinDとMinEの二種はバクテリアでは細胞分裂の位置決定に関わる。最近、シロイヌナズナMinE相同因子(AtMinE1)が第三の葉緑体分裂因子として機能すること、またシロイヌナズナ葉緑体分裂異常変異体arc11 (accumulation and replication of chloroplasts 11)がMinD相同...
