Assessment of allelic diversity among drought-resistant cotton genotypes using microsatellite markers
Authors: A. Javaid, F.S. Awan, F.M. Azhar and I.A. Khan
Drought, in conjunction with high temperature, is an important environmental constraint to cotton production. Development of cotton varieties with increased tolerance against adverse environmental conditions has been proposed as effective strategy for ensuring reliable yields. In the present study, 30 simple sequence repeat (S.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression of drought-induced protein 3 (DIP3) encoding a class III chitinase in upland rice
Authors: X.L. Guo, L.R. Bai, C.Q. Su, L.R. Shi and D.W. Wang
A drought-induced gene, DIP3, encoding a chitinase III protein was isolated from the roots of upland rice by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Sequence analysis demonstrated that the cDNA and deduced protein showed high identity to Oryza sativa class III chitinase. The deduced protein contained a signal peptide sequence in the N-te..

Cloning and characterization of up-regulated HbSINA4 gene induced by drought stress in Tibetan hulless barley
Authors: H.J. Yuan, X.M. Luo, T.S. Nyima, Y.L. Wang, Q.J. Xu and X.Q. Zeng
Hulless barley is an important crop cereal in Tibetan, China. Drought is a major abiotic stress in barley production. In this study, we cloned the drought-related HbSINA4 gene from the variety ‘Himalaya 10’ and analyzed its expression patterns under different drought and rehydration conditions. The cDNA of..

Evaluation of grain yield in sorghum hybrids under water stress
Authors: C.B. Menezes, D.C. Saldanha, C.V. Santos, L.C. Andrade, M.P. Mingote J�ºlio, A.F. Portugal and F.D. Tardin
Sorghum grain yield can be significantly affected by climatic changes, especially drought and high temperature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate hybrids of grain sorghum grown under normal irrigation conditions or water stress in order to select those likely to be more tolerant of drought. Forty-nine hybrids were grow.. Read More»

Expression of the 2-dehydro-3-deoxyphosphooctonate aldolase (KdsA) gene in mulberry leaves (Morus alba L.) is down-regulated under high salt and drought stress
Authors: X.B. Yang, S.L. Wu, D.P. Zhu, H. Wu, T. Jiang, Y.H. Qian and F. Jiao
The oligosaccharide 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) is a key component of lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative bacteria, and is also part of the pectic polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan (RG-II) of the plant cell wall. The enzyme KDO-8-phosphate synthase (KDO8Ps), encoded by the 2-dehydro-3-deoxyphosphooctonate aldolas.. Read More»

Drought-tolerant rice germplasm developed from an Oryza officinalis transformation-competent artificial chromosome clone
Authors: R. Liu, H.H. Zhang, Z.X. Chen, M.Q. Shahid, X.L. Fu and X.D. Liu
Oryza officinalis has proven to be a natural gene reservoir for the improvement of domesticated rice as it carries many desirable traits; however, the transfer of elite genes to cultivated rice by conventional hybridization has been a challenge for rice breeders. In this study, the conserved sequence of plant stress-related NAC transcription factors was s.. Read More»

Physiological evaluation of the responses of Larix olgensis families to drought stress and proteomic analysis of the superior family
Authors: L. Zhang, H.G. Zhang, Q.Y. Pang
The conifer Larix olgensis has been analyzed to delineate physiological and proteomic changes that occur under drought stress. Studies of the deleterious effects of drought in the larch families have mainly focused on photosynthesis. In the present study, when the intensity of drought was increased, plant height was inhibited .. Read More»
