Phenotypes of noe1 and map-based cloning of NOE1/OsCATC. A to C, SNO content (A) and phenotypes (B and C) of 3-month-old wild-type (WT) and noe1 plants grown under high light (1,600 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹). D, Map-based cloning of NOE1/OsCATC. The NOE1/OsCATC gene was mapped in the interval of MT2 and MT8 on the short arm of chromosome 3 and was delimited to a 61-kb region with 10 candidate genes between the MT19 and MT23 markers; the mutated sites of two distinct allelic mutants are shown in the gene LOC_Os03g03910. E, Expression patterns of OsCATA, OsCATB, and NOE1/OsCATC in different tissues analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR. F, Expression levels of OsCATA, OsCATB, and NOE1/OsCATC in wild-type and noe1 leaves. These data were obtained from three independent replicates. * P < 0.05 (t test).
