Development of a site-specific induction system of protein function in plant cells

To investigate the molecular basis of mechanisms by which elaborate phenomena in living systems are regulated, it is an effective way that functions of regulatory genes and proteins are artificially induced in a spatio-temporally specific manner. In this study, an attempt was made for developing a site-specific induction system of protein function in plant cells taking advantage of caged CID (Chemical Inducing Dimmer), which can be spatio-temporally uncaged by the irradiation of UV laser.
