RiceMKRNis a member of the makorin RING finger protein gene (MKRN) family, which encodes a protein with a characteristic array of zinc-finger motifs conserved in various eukaryotes. Using non-radioactive in situ hybridization, we investigated the spatio-temporal gene expression pattern of riceMKRNduring embryogenesis, imbibition, seminal and lateral root development ofOryza sativaL. var. Nipponbare.MKRNexpression was ubiquitous during early organogenesis in the embryo along the apical–basal and radial axes. The expression ofMKRNdecreased during embryonic organ elongation and maturation compared to early embryogenesis, but increased again during imbibition. Tissue-specific and position-dependentMKRNexpression was found during embryonic and post-embryonic root and shoot development. Meristematic cells ubiquitously expressedMKRNtranscripts, while differentiating cells showed a gradual reduction and termination ofMKRNexpression. Interestingly, during post-germinationMKRNexpression was prominent and continued in the metabolically active, differentiated companion cells of the phloem. The differential expression pattern was observed both in the differentiating and differentiated cells. Also,MKRNwas expressed in the various developmental stages of the lateral root primordia and the cells surrounding them. Expression ofMKRNwas also observed after periclinal division of the presumptive pericycle founder cells. TheMKRNexpression pattern during development of various growth stages suggests an important role of makorin RING finger protein gene (MKRN) in embryonic and post-embryonic organogenesis in both apical–basal and radial developmental axes of rice.
