Genetic Evaluation for Effects of Salt and Drought Stress on Growth Traits of Zea mays Seedlings
Authors: M. Khalil, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Maize is an important grain cash crop grown throughout the world for its grain and fodder. It is highly sensitive for abiotic stress conditions; like drought, chilling, alkalinity, heat, salt and cold conditions. Present study was carried out to find out the effects of salt or NaCl and drought stress on three selected maize genotypes viz., P6103, L5971 an.. Read More»

Genetic Evaluation of Brassica juncea and Sinapis alba Seedling Traits under Multi Stress Conditions
Authors: H. Khan, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Brassica is an important oil seed crop plant species grown throughout the world. Brassica juncea and Sinapis alba are very sensitive to abiotic stress conditions which included drought, heat, salt, heavy metals and cold which disturb their growth and yield. For this purpose to check the effect of heavy metals, salt and drought, an experiment was conducted.. Read More»

Development and cross-species amplification of microsatellite loci for Puccinellia maritima, an important engineer saltmarsh species
Authors: R. Rouger, M. Vallejo-Marin and A.S. Jump
The grass Puccinellia maritima is an important saltmarsh ecosystem engineer exhibiting wide morphological variation, which is partially genetically determined. Nevertheless, nothing is known about its population genetics or how neutral genetic variation is distributed throughout its geographical range. Here, we describe 12 pol.. Read More»

Development of EST-SSR markers related to salt tolerance and their application in genetic diversity and evolution analysis in Gossypium
Authors: B.H. Wang, P. Zhu, Y.L. Yuan, C.B. Wang, C.M. Yu, H.H. Zhang, X.Y. Zhu, W. Wang, C.B. Yao, Z.M. Zhuang and P. Li
Salt stress is becoming one of the major problems in global agriculture with the onset of global warming, an increasing scarcity of fresh water, and improper land irrigation and fertilization practices, which leads to reduction of crop output and even causes crop death. To speed up the exploitation of saline land, it is a good.. 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»

Salt stress causes a shift in the localization pattern of germin gene expression
Authors: M. Caliskan
The response of plants to biotic and abiotic stress factors involves biochemical, physiological, morphological, and developmental changes. Salt stress has been the subject of extensive studies due to the low salt tolerance of many crop plants. Germin and germin-like gene products are known to be involved in various aspects of ..

VDAC2 involvement in the stress response pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana
Authors: Z. Liu, Q.H. Luo, G.Q. Wen, J.M. Wang, X.F. Li,Y. Yang
The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the major transport protein in the outer membrane of mitochondria, and is involved in the formation of a permeable transition pore and metabolite transport. In this study, we explored the role of Arabidopsis thaliana VDAC2 (AtVDAC2) in the signal transduction pathway in Arabidopsis.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of ChiMYB in Chrysanthemum indicum with an emphasis on salinity stress tolerance
Authors: M. He, H. Wang, Y. Z. Liu, W.J. Gao, Y.H. Gao, F. Wang and Y.W. Zhou
v-myb avianmyeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog (MYB) transcription factors are key regulators of stress responsive gene expression in plants. In this study, the MYB gene, ChiMYB (GenBank accession No. KT948997), was isolated from Chrysanthemum indicum, and was functionally characterized with an emphasis on salinity stress tolerance. The full ChiMYB cDNA.. Read More»

Physiological analysis and transcriptome comparison of two muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) cultivars in response to salt stress
Authors: L.M. Wang, L.D. Zhang, J.B. Chen, D.F. Huang and Y.D. Zhang
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important vegetable crop that ranks second in salt tolerance among the Cucurbitaceae. Previous studies on the two muskmelon cultivars ‘Bing XueCui’ (BXC) and ‘Yu Lu’ (YL) revealed that they had different characteristics under salt stress, but the molecular basis underlying their different physiological..
