There was nearly complete loss of chlorophyll in the WT plants, whereas the OsMT1e-P transformants showed relatively less reduction in total chlorophyll content at 200 mM NaCl.
The positive transformants accumulated less ATR and showed less toxicity.
The transformants showed various antimicrobial activity except H4 (date not shown).
The transformants showed enhancement in photosynthesis rate in high temperature conditions.
Hog1 and Pbs2 RNAi transformants showed altered conidial size, and reduced invasive growth and pathogenesis.
PGHS-1 transformants showed the highest activity, followed by PGHS-2 transformants, whereas removal of the signal peptide resulted in almost complete loss of PGHS-1 activity.
Among the obtained 120 constructs expressing cDNAs, 34 transformants showed a stable phenotype with quicker growth.
Fruits of the transformants showed a significant increase of β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin.
Transformants showed 3-fold higher levels of Fe accumulation in brown seeds (Table 1).
The transformants showed high capacity for conversion of acetone into isopropanol (> 95%).
