Rice callus suspension cultures(RCSC) and seed extracts prepared from aromatic rice varieties were used to evaluate the cytotoxic impact on human colon and lung cancer cell lines, as well as a normal control cell line, using Taxol as a positive control. RCSC and seed extracts from two Indian aromatic rice varieties were applied at different concentrations to treat the cancer cell lines and normal lung fibroblasts over varying time intervals. Apoptosis was assessed in 1:5 dilutions of the A549 and HT-29 cell lines treated with RCSC for 72 h, using propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. RCSC showed a more potent cytotoxic effect than seed extracts with minimal effect on the normal cell line, in contrast to Taxol. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry further confirmed the apoptotic effect of RCSC. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolic profiling identified metabolites involved in cytotoxicity and highlighted altered pathways. RCSC is proposed as an alternative source for the development of novel anticancer drugs with reduced side effects.展开更多

DNA inethylation, histone methylation and histone acetylation are the main types of epigenetic modifications, which play important roles in plant growth and development. DNA methylation could seilenco transposons, affect gene imprinting and gene expression. In this study, we found that granule bound starch synthase 1 （GBSSI） gene is expressed specifically in wheat endosperm rath- er than in the embryo. We also analyzed the cis-elements within this promoter region and found some seed-specific elements. In order to confirm the tissue specifici- ty, we cloned 4k bp sequences upstream of GBSS1 gene to link to vector with GUS and this construct was transferred to tobacco by Agrobacterium mediated transfor- marion. The results showed that wheat GBSS1 promoter mediated the seed-specific expression of GUS gene, hut not mediated expression in embryo. In addition, we found that GBSSI promoter is methylated in wheat embryo and de-methylated in wheat endosperm. Our study might provide the molecular basis for specific expres- sion of GBSSI gene.展开更多
