Abstract 1-Deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS) encoded by a multigene family in
plants, catalyzes the first step in the methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP)
pathway. Three rice DXS-related sequences (OsDXS) were identified from
available rice databases. The open reading frame of three OsDXS genes (dxs1,
dxs2, and dxs3) were amplified against cDNA template. Ratio of their transcript
levels in etiolated rice leaf was 9:181:1. While the expression levels were not
changed along the growth stages of etiolated culture, UV-irradiation of the
etiolated rice induced the expression of dxs3 up to nine-fold compared with
that of unirradiated control. In the case of light-illumination, the relative
expression of dxs1 based on unilluminated control increased two-fold. The
differential expression of three OsDXS genes suggested their distinct and
complementary roles in the control of the first step of the MEP pathway in
response to environmental stimuli.
