Article Synopsis
- A new homolog of SUMO genes was identified in rice, showing its role in post-translational modifications and indicating evolutionary conservation with other rice SUMO genes.
- Analysis revealed that this SUMO gene is constantly expressed in all plant organs and possesses specific features related to SUMOylation.
- Experiments demonstrated that the processed OsSUMO7 protein, when fused with a red fluorescent protein, localized primarily in the nucleus and formed distinct nuclear structures, suggesting its involvement in nuclear functions via the SUMOylation system.
Generally, under normal conditions plants are resistant to many of the incompatible pathogens (viral, fungal and bacterial), and this is named "non-host resistance phenomenon". To understand this phenomenon, different types of food crops (faba bean, squash, barley and wheat) were inoculated with compatible and incompatible pathogens. Strong resistance symptoms were observed in the non-host/incompatible pathogen combinations as compared with host/compatible pathogen combinations, which showed severe infection (susceptibility).

The SUMO proteins have a similar 3-dimensional structure as that of ubiquitin proteins and occur through a cascade of enzymatic reactions. In the present study we have cloned a new SUMO gene from Tomato ( L.
