AHX and AOH effect on Oryza sativa. Oryza sativa

Fairy rings are zones of stimulated grass growth by the interaction between the fungi and the plant. In the previous research, we reported the identification of the “fairy”, 2-azahypoxanthine (AHX), produced by the fairy ring-forming fungus and the mechanism of its growth-promoting activity using DNA microarray. We discovered AOH, a common metabolite of AHX in plants. We investigate expression profiling of rice seedlings treated with AHX or AOH for the mechanism of their growth-promoting activity. Overall design: Three-condition experiment, control vs. AHX-treated rice (50 and 200 mM) and AOH-treated rice (50 and 200 mM).
