Project description:Fairy rings are zones of stimulated grass growth by the interaction between the fungi and the plant. In the previous research, we reported the identification of the “fairy”, ICAproduced by the fairy ring-forming fungus and the mechanism of its growth-inhibiting activity using DNA microarray. We invetigate expression profiling of rice seedlings treated with ICA for the mechanism of its growth-inhibiting activity.
Project description:Fairy rings are zones of stimulated grass growth by the interaction between the fungi and the plant. In the previous research, we reported the identification of the “fairy”, 2-azahypoxanthine (AHX), produced by the fairy ring-forming fungus and the mechanism of its growth-promoting activity using DNA microarray. We discovered AOH, a common metabolite of AHX in plants. We investigate expression profiling of rice seedlings treated with AHX or AOH for the mechanism of their growth-promoting activity.
Project description:Rings or arcs of fungus-stimulated plant growth occur often on the floor of woodlands which are commonly called “fairy rings”. We purified a plant growth-stimulating compound, 2-azahypoxanthine (AHX), from the fairy ring-forming fungus Lepista sordida, and the detection of AHX in the fungus-infected soil near the growth-stimulated turfgrass roots. The growth-promoting activity of AHX towards rice was further analyzed by oligo DNA microarrays.

We discovered AOH, a common metabolite of AHX in plants. We investigate expression profiling of rice seedlings treated with AHX or AOH for the mechanism of their growth-promoting activity. Three-condition experiment, control vs. AHX-treated rice (50 and 200 mM) and AOH-treated rice (50 and 200 mM).
