Salt stress is a major environmental factor influencing plant growth and development. To identify salt tolerance determinants, we systematically screened salt sensitive rice mutants by use of the Activator/Dissociation (Ac/Ds) transposon tagging system. In this study, we focused on the salt sensitive mutant line, designated SSM-1. A gene encoding a NAC transcription factor homologue was disrupted by the insertion of a Ds transposon into SSM-1 line. The OsNAC075 gene (EU541472) has 7 exons and encodes a protein (486-aa) containing the NAC domain in its N-terminal region. Sequence comparison showed that the OsNAC075 protein had a strikingly conserved region at the N-terminus, which is considered as the characteristic of the NAC protein family. OsNAC075 protein was orthologous to Arabidopsis thaliana ANAC075. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed OsNAC075 belonged to the OsNAC3 subfamily, which plays an important role in response to stress stimuli. RT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of OsNAC075 gene was rapidly and strongly induced by stresses such as NaCl, ABA and low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$). Our data suggest that OsNAC075 holds promising utility in improving salt tolerance in rice.

고염 스트레스에 대한 연구는 농업 생산성에 직결되기 때문에, 고염에 대한 식물의 반응 및 신호전달, 적응기작은 중요한 연구주제가 되어 왔다. 현재까지 연구된 고염 스트레스에 대한 저항성 기작 및 유전학적 요소들이 많이 밝혀졌는데도 불구하고 아직 많은 연구를 필요로 하고 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 모델식물로 잘 알려진 애기장대에 pSK1015 vector로 T-DNA를 삽입하여 고염 스트레스에 대해 감수성을 보이는 돌연변이체, ssm1 돌연변이체를 선별하였다. ssm1 돌연변이체는 고염 스트레스를 받게 되면 이온의 독성 스트레스와 세포내 삼투압의 불균형에서 오는 스트레스에 대해 대조군에 비해 감수성을 보였다. ssm1 돌연변이체의 genomic DNA 상의 T-DNA가 삽입된 부위를 찾기 위하여 genomic DNA mutant library screening을 수행한 결과, 기존의 알려진 syntaxin 기능 및 환경 스트레스에 관련된 F3M18/AtSYP61/OSM1 임을 알 수 있었다.

New quadruply-bridged calix[6]arenes (I-V) have been studied as cesium selective ionophores in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrodes. PVC membranes were prepared with dioctyl sebacate (DOS) or 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (o-NPOE) as the sol vent mediator and potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate as the lipophilic salt additive. These ionophores produced electrodes with near-Nernstian slope. The selectivity coefficients for cesium ion with respect to alkali, alkaline earth and ammonium ions have been determined. The lowest detection limit (logaCs+ = -6.3) and the higher selectivity coefficient (logkpotCs+,Rb+ = -2.1 by SSM, -2.3 by FIM for calix[6]arene I) for Cs+ have been obtained for membranes containing quadruply-bridged calix[6]arenes (I, Ⅱ, Ⅲ), which have no para t-butyl substituents on the bridging benzene ring.
