Gene organization in rice revealed by full-length cDNA mapping and gene expression analysis through microarray
Satoh K, Doi K, Nagata T, Kishimoto N, Suzuki K et al (2007). Gene organization in rice revealed by full-length cDNA mapping and gene expression analysis through microarray. PLoS ONE 2(11): e1235. (DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0001235).
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a model organism for the functional genomics of monocotyledonous plants since the genome size is considerably smaller than those of other monocotyledonous plants. Although highly accurate genome sequences of indica and japonica rice are available, additional resources such as full-length complementary DNA (FL-cDNA) sequences are also indispensable for comprehensive analyses of gene structure and function. We cross-referenced 28.5K individual loci in the rice genome defined by mapping of 578K FL-cDNA clones with the 56K loci predicted in the TIGR genome assembly.

Characterization of AtALMT1 expression in aluminium inducible malate release and its role for rhizotoxic stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana
Kobayasi Y, Hoekenga OA, Ito H, Nakashima M, Saito S, Shaff JE , Maron LG, Piñeros MA, Kochian LV, Koyama H. 2007. Characterization of AtALMT1 expression in aluminium inducible malate release and its role for rhizotoxic stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. Plant Physiology 145: 843–852 (DOI:10.1104/pp.107.102335).
Malate transporters play a critical role in aluminium (Al) tolerance responses for some plant species, such as Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Here, we further characterize AtALMT1, an Arabidopsis aluminum-activated malate transporter, to clarify its specific role in malate release and Al stress responses. Malate excretion from the roots of accession Columbia was sharply induced by Al, which is concomitant with the induction of AtALMT1 gene expression.

Improvement of water use efficiency in rice by expression of HARDY, an Arabidopsis drought and salt tolerance gene
Karaba A, Dixit S, Greco R, Aharoni A, Trijatmiko KR, Marsch-Martinez N, Krishnan A, Nataraja KN, Udayakumar M and Pereira A (2007). Improvement of water use efficiency in rice by expression of HARDY, an Arabidopsis drought and salt tolerance gene. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA 104:15270–15275 (DOI: 10.1073/pnas.0707294104).
Freshwater is a limited and dwindling global resource; therefore, efficient water use is required for food crops that have high water demands, such as rice, or for the production of sustainable energy biomass. We show here that expression of the Arabidopsis HARDY (HRD) gene in rice improves water use efficiency, the ratio of biomass produced to the water used, by enhancing photosynthetic assimilation and reducing transpiration. These drought-tolerant, low-water-consuming rice plants exhibit increased shoot biomass under well irrigated conditions and an adaptive increase in root biomass under drought stress.
