An expression analysis profile for the entire sucrose synthase gene family in rice

Identification and Characterization of the Duplicate Rice Sucrose Synthase Genes OsSUS5 and OsSUS7 Which Are Associated with the Plasma Membrane

“…Identification and characterization of the OsSUS7 genomic region Systemic blast searches of the rice genome, using nucleotide and amino acid sequences of previously reported rice SUS genes (Harada et al, 2005;Hirose et al, 2008;Huang et al, 1996;Wang et al, 1992), identified seven genes encoding sucrose synthase enzymes. Thus, our analysis enabled the detection of a previously uncharacterized sucrose synthase gene, named OsSUS7.…”

“…Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using MEGA version 4 (Tamura et al, 2007) and the neighbor-joining method. The accession numbers of the sequences used to construct the phylogenetic tree are as follows: AtSUS1-AtSUS6 from Arabidopsis, At5g20830, At5g49190, At4g02280, At3g43190, At5g-37180, and At1g73370, respectively (Baud et al, 2004); Ag-SUS from Alnus glutinosa, X92378 (van Ghelue et al, 1996); BoSUS1-BoSUS4 from Bambusa oldhamii, AF412036, AF-412038, AF412037, and AF412039, respectively; BvSBSS1 and BvSBSS2 from sugar beet, AY457173 and EF660856, respectively (Hesse and Willmitzer, 1996;Klotz and Haagenson, 2008); ClSUS from Citrullus lanatus, AB018561; Cpss1 and Cpss2 from Craterostigma plantagineum, AJ131999 and AJ132000, respectively (Kleines et al, 1999); CrSUS from Chenopodium rubrum, X82504 (Godt et al, 1995); CitSUS1 and CitSUSA from citrus, AB022092 and AB022091 (Komatsu et al, 2002); DcSUS1 and DcSUS2 from carrot, X75332 and Y16091 (Sebkova et al, 1995;; GhSUS from Gossypium hirsutum, U73588; GmSUS from soybean, AF030231; HvSUS1 and HvSUS2 from barley, X65871 and X69931 (Sánchez de la Hoz et al, 1992); LeSUS1 and Le-SUS2 from tomato, L19762 and AJ011319 (Chengappa et al, 1999;Wang et al, 1993); MsSUS from Medicago sativa, AF049487; MtSUS1 from Medicago truncatula, AJ131943 (Hohnjec et al, 1999); MySUS from the tropical epiphytic CAM orchid Mokara Yellow, AF530568 (Li et al, 2004); OgSUS from the tropical epiphytic orchid Oncidium goldiana, AF530567; OsSUS1-OsSUS7 from rice, LOC_Os03g28330, LOC_Os06g 09450, LOC_Os07g42490, LOC_Os03g22120, LOC_Os04g 24430, LOC_Os02g58480, and LOC_Os04g17650, respectively (Hirose et al, 2008;Huang et al, 1996;Wang et al, 1992); PdSUS1 and PdSUS2 from Potamogeton distinctus, AB193515 and AB193516; PtSUS from Populus tremuloides, AY341026; PvSS from bean, AF315375 (Silvente et al, 2003); PsSUS1-PsSUS3 from pea, AJ012080, AJ001071, and AJ311496, respectively (Barratt et al, 2001;Craig et al, 1999); SoSusy2 from Saccharum officinarum, AY118266; StSUS2-StSUS4 from potato, AY205302, U24088, and U24087, respectively (Fu and Park, 1995;Salanoubat and Belliard, 1987); TaSUS1 and TaSUS2 from Triticum aestivum, AJ001117 and AJ000153; TgSUS1 and TgSUS2 from tulip, X96938 and X96939 (Balk and de Boer, 1999); VfSUS from fava bean, X69773; Vrvss1 from mung bean, D10266 …”

“…SUS genes have been found in a number of plant species, including maize (Carlson et al, 2002), rice (Harada et al, 2005;Hirose et al, 2008;Huang et al, 1996;Wang et al, 1992), Arabidopsis (Barratt et al, 2001;Bieniawska et al, 2007), pea (Barratt et al, 2001), potato (Fu and Park, 1995), tomato (Chengappa et al, 1999), carrot and lotus (Horst et al, 2007). Through systematic searches of the complete genome sequence, it has been reported that the Arabidopsis and rice genomes both encode a small multigene family consisting of six SUS genes (Barratt et al, 2001;Bieniawska et al, 2007;Harada et al, 2005;Hirose et al, 2008).…”

Phylogenetic analyses have further shown that SUS genes can be divided into three different groups, SUSI, SUSII, and SUSIII, each likely having distinct functions (Bieniawska et al, 2007).…”

Characterization of sugar metabolism in the stem of Tachisuzuka, a whole-crop silage rice cultivar with high sugar content in the stem

“…AGP, SPS, and SUS activities were evaluated as described previously by Okamura et al (2013), Hashida et al (2016), and Hirose et al (2008), respectively. CWIN, NIN, and VIN were evaluated as described previously by Ishimaru et al (2005) with some modifications.…”
