Abstract Cell death plays important roles in the development and defense of plants as in
other multicellular organisms. Rapid production of reactive oxygen species often
is associated with plant defense against pathogens, but their molecular
mechanisms are not known. We introduced the constitutively active and the
dominant negative forms of the small GTP-binding protein OsRac1, a rice homolog
of human Rac, into the wild type and a lesion mimic mutant of rice and analyzed
H(2)O(2) production and cell death in transformed cell cultures and plants. The
results indicate that Rac is a regulator of reactive oxygen species production
as well as cell death in rice.
