additional information | expression profiles of carotenoid biosynthetic genes in leaves and seeds among three independent transgenic plants for each OsDXS2 and OsDXR construct relative to non-transgenic (NT) and stPAC plants. The endogenous expression of OsDXS1 and OsDXS2 increases up to 6.7fold and 4.0fold, respectively, following the overexpression of OsDXR, but the enhanced activity of OsDXS2 does not cause a significant increase in OsDXR expression, even though the expression of the OsPSY2 gene is significantly increased up to 5.7fold following the overexpression of OsDXS2 | Oryza sativa Japonica Group |

evolution | phylogenetic analysis, rice DXR is encoded by the single copy gene OsDXR and phylogenetically categorized into plant DXR clade II, which includes the tree plants gingko, yew, and pine, and the Poaceae family plants sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), maize, foxtail millet, and barley (Hordeum vulgare). On the other hand, rice DXR is not categorized into clade I, which includes herbage plants | Oryza sativa Japonica Group |
malfunction | the overexpression of each OsDXS2 or OsDXR causes no positive effect on the accumulation of either carotenoids or chlorophylls in leaves and seeds, but overexpression of either OsDXS2 or OsDXR affects seed carotenoid metabolism, total carotenoid content is increased by 26% in the PGD1::OsDXS2 lines and decreased by 11% in the PGD1::OsDXR lines, overview. The endogenous expression of OsDXS1 and OsDXS2 increases up to 6.7fold and 4.0fold, respectively, following the overexpression of OsDXR, but the enhanced activity of OsDXS2 does not cause a significant increase in OsDXR expression, even though the expression of the OsPSY2 gene is significantly increased up to 5.7fold following the overexpression of OsDXS2 | Oryza sativa Japonica Group |
metabolism | organ-specific differential roles of rice Deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXS) and deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR), the first two enzymes of the methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, in carotenoid metabolism in Oryza sativa leaves and seeds. DXS and DXR are the enzymes that catalyze the first two enzyme steps of the MEP pathway to supply the isoprene building-blocks of carotenoids. Enzyme OsDXS2 functions as a rate-limiting enzyme supplying IPP/DMAPPs to seed carotenoid metabolism, but OsDXR does not in either leaves or seeds. Carotenoid and MEP pathway regulation, overview | Oryza sativa Japonica Group |
physiological function | enzyme OsDXS2 functions as a rate-limiting enzyme supplying IPP/DMAPPs to seed carotenoid metabolism, but OsDXR does not in either leaves or seeds. DXR plays essential roles in the development and survival of plants. No positive effect of OsDXR on carotenoid and chlorophyll metabolism in rice leaves.
