Previously, we cloneds rice （Oryza sativa L.） gene OsJAC1 encoding s msnnose-blndlng Jscslln-relsted lectln, and found that OsJAC1 was Jssmonlc acid （JA） Inducible. Here we cloned the promoter of OsJAC1, and GUS activity was detected In young roots, coleoptlles, sheaths, leaves, nodes of stems, stems, rschlses, pistils, stsmens and lemmss of OsJAC1：：GUS trsnsgenlc rice, suggesting that OsJAC1 Is s constitutive expression gene In rice. Moreover, OsJAC1-overexpressed （Ubi：：OsJAC1） rice showed dwarfism with shorter coleptlles resulting from the failure of cell elongation of coleoptlles. In addition, compared with coleoptlles of wild-type plants, those of OsJAC1 overexpresslon rice were more sensitive to JA treatment. These data revealed that, besides Its roles in defense response, lectin plays an Important role in rice growth and development.展开更多
