1.2.1.8	For OsBADH2, preliminary experiments based on RT-PCR show that the mRNA is expressed constitutively and multiple transcription products ae detected. Primers specific to the 5' region are used. To analyze the transcripts derived from the OsBADH2 gene, seedlings from different varieties under different rowth conditions are harvested for the total RNA isolation. As a result, all the 59 cDNA clones sequenced also have deletions at the 5' exonic region. Similar to that in the OsBADH1 gene, various unusual events in the OsBADH2 locus generate a number of truncated transcripts. The size of the deleted sequences from 5' UTR and exon(s) range from 112 to 523 nucleotides.	Oryza sativa
1.2.1.8	To compare the posttranscriptional processing patterns of the BADH homologs between cereal crop species and more distantly related dicotyledonous species, RT-PCR experiments using total RNA extracted from seedlings of spinach are conducted. Primers designed to amplify the full length of mRNA of BADH homologs are used. As anticipated, the RT-PCR products of BADH homologs from Arabidopsis are of expected size for correctly processed transcripts. Sequencing analysis of 4 cDNA clones confirms the correct processing.

1.2.1.8	To determine whether the unusual events occurring in the BADH transcripts are specific only to the rice genome, RT-PCR experiments using the total RNA extracted from seedlings of maize species are carried out. These experiments used primers either to amplify the full length of mRNA or exclusively the 5' region of BADH homologs corresponding to those in rice. The sequencing data from a total of 6 cDNA clones demonstrate that all the tested cDNA clones have deletion(s) of the 5' exonic sequences resulting from the unusual posttranscriptional processing.

1.2.1.8	to examine whether the expressed products are OsBADh1 gene, the RT-PCR-amplified fragments are cloned and sequenced. Primers derived from 5' and 3' untranslated regions are used to isolate the full length of OsBADH1 cDNA clones. Resultant sequencing analysis reveal that the cDNAs are truncated at the 5' exonic region. Observed expression products are shorter than the expected size of 695 bp of the 5' exonic region. Sequence comparison of the cDNAs reveal a considerable variation in their structural compositions. All of the cDNAs contain a deletion of the 5' coding sequence within the OsBADH1 gene. The deleted exon material ranged from 28 to 225 nucleotides in size. The start-point of the deletions in four cDNAs begin with the first nucleotide of the coding sequence, which give rise to the loss of translation initiation codon. 32 cDNAs encode derivatives with frame-shifts in the open reading frame , introducing various stop codons at different positions. Only 5 cDNA clones show the potential to encode partial BADH1 proteins with deletions that code for a part of the putative NAD+ binding domain. Most of the missing sequences from the truncated transcripts indicate above involved 2 different exons, and in a few cases the truncation take place within a single exon. In addition, two independent deletions of exon materials within a single cDNA clone are observed in 5 clones. Therefore, no cDNA is found to have the capacity to encode the full length of the OsBADH1 protein, indicating that correctly processed transcripts represent a very small proportion of the total cytoplasmic mature OsBADH1 RNA population and consequently that the majority of the OsBADH1 mRNAs are unlikely to encode functional proteins.
