The Waxy (Wx) gene controls amylose synthesis in rice (Oryza sativa) and its expression is regulated organ-specifically. The Wx gene is expressed in the endosperm and pollen but not in other organs. In order to know whether Wx gene regulation is the same in the endosperm and pollen, we compared expression patterns of the rice Wx gene in these two organs by immunoblot analysis. We focused on the allelic differences (Wxa and Wxb), cool temperature response and effects of the mutation at the du loci. The results obtained are as follows. First, the quantitative regulation depending on two alleles, Wxa and Wxb, was common to both organs; Wx protein levels from the Wxa allele were about 10-fold higher than those from the Wxb allele in the pollen as well as in the endosperm. Second, in both the endosperm and pollen, expression of the Wxb gene, but not the Wxa gene, was enhanced in response to cool temperature. In contrast to these two types of regulation, analysis of two du mutants, 2035 (du1) and 76-3 (du2), revealed that the pattern of reduction in Wx protein levels in the pollen was distinct from that in the endosperm, suggesting that functions of the two du+ genes differ in these two organs.
