Papers
1. Potential of halophyte as a crop and genetic resource..
2. Role of a transcription factor with a single MYB domain, AtMYBN1, in response to nitrogen supply in Arabidopsis., [URL].
3. Kazuyuki Saitou, Nobuo Miyazaki, Ueno Osamu, Effects of nitrogen on the expression of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit multigene family members in rice (Oryza sativa L.), Plant Production Science, http://dx.doi.org/10.1626/pps.16.37, 16, 1, 37-40, 2013.01, [URL], Five ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit genes identified in the rice (Oryza sativa) genome are designated as OsRBCS1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. OsRBCS1 transcripts were not detectable. The mRNA levels of OsRBCS2, OsRBCS3, OsRBCS4 and OsRBCS5 in leaf blades were increased by NH4NO3 supply to nitrogen-starved plants, but the extent of increment varied with the genes. The mRNA levels of OsRBCS2, OsRBCS3 and OsRBCS4 in leaf blades were increased by NH4NO3 or glutamine supply to detached shoots. On the other hand, NH4NO3 and glutamine had little effect on the expression of OsRBCS5 gene. The mRNA level of OsRBCS4 was increased only by cytokinin supply to the detached shoots. The expression of the promoters of OsRBCS2 and OsRBCS3 was enhanced by NH4NO3 supply..
4. Nagata, T., H. Hara, K. Saitou, A. Kobashi, K. Kojima, T. Yuasa and O. Ueno, Activation of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase gene promoters by a WRKY transcription factor, AtWRKY20, in Arabidopsis thaliana L. and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.)., Plant production science, http://dx.doi.org/10.1626/pps.15.10, 15, 1, 10-18, 2012.01, [URL], AtWRKY20 functions directly as a transcriptional activator of the ApL3 promoter and regulates the expression of ApL3 induced by sucrose or osmoticum in A. thaliana. Moreover, AtWRKY20 can enhance the expression of the Koganesengan ibAGP1 promoter directly in sweet potato..
5. Nagata, T. and K. Saitou, Regulation of expression of D3-type cyclins and ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase genes by sugar, cytokinin and ABA in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.)., Plant production science, 12, 4, 434-442, 2009.10, [URL].
