Genome-wide expression analysis of a rice mutant line under salt stress
Authors: K.J. Lee, S.-J. Kwon, J.E. Hwang, S.M. Han, I. Jung, J.-B. Kim, H.-I. Choi, J. Ryu and S.-Y. Kang
Salinity is a major environmental stress to plants. In this study, the ability of plants to tolerate salt was investigated by studying growth, physiological characteristics, and expression levels of genes related to the salt-stress response in the salt-tolerant rice mutant (Till-II-877), which was derived from γ-ray irra..

Cloning and characterization of peanut allene oxide cyclase gene involved in salt-stressed responses
Authors: H.H. Liu, Y.G. Wang, S.P. Wang and H.J. Li
In this study, the full-length cDNA encoding allene oxide cyclase (AhAOC) was isolated from peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The deduced amino acid sequence of AhAOC showed high homology with other plant AOCs. The transcript of AhAOC was found to be abundantly expressed in roots. Expression analysis demonstrated that AhAOC was induced by abscisic acid, methy.. Read More»

Genetic transformation and expression of transgenic lines of Populus x euramericana with insect-resistance and salt-tolerance genes
Authors: R.L. Yang, A.X. Wang, J. Zhang, Y. Dong, M.S. Yang and J.M. Wang
We characterized new transgenic varieties of poplar with multiple insect-resistant and salt stress tolerant genes. Two insect-resistant Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) genes, Cry1Ac and Cry3A, and a salt-tolerant gene, Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) were inserted into a vector, p209-Cry1Ac-Cry3A-BADH. The clone of Populus x.. Read More»

Ectopic expression of Arabidopsis thaliana Na+(K+)/H+ antiporter gene, AtNHX5, enhances soybean salt tolerance
Authors: X.X. Wu, J. Li, X.D. Wu1, Q. Liu, Z.K. Wang, S.S. Liu, S.N. Li, Y.L. Ma, J. Sun, L. Zhao, H.Y. Li, D.M. Li, W.B. Li and A.Y. Su
Drought and salt stresses are the two major factors influencing the yield and quality of crops worldwide. Na+(K+)/H+ antiporters (NHXs) are ubiquitous membrane proteins that play important roles in maintaining the cellular pH and Na+(K+) homeostasis. The model plant Arabidopsis potentially encodes six NHX genes, namely AtNHX1 .. Read More»

SSR-based association mapping of salt tolerance in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
Authors: Y.L. Zhao, H.M. Wang, B.X. Shao, W. Chen, Z.J. Guo, H.Y. Gong,X.H. Sang, J.J. Wang and W.W. Ye
The identification of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers associated with salt tolerance in cotton contributes to molecular assisted selection (MAS), which can improve the efficiency of traditional breeding. In this study, 134 samples of upland cotton cultivars were selected. The seedling emergence rates were tested under 0.3.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of a novel betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene from Suaeda corniculata
Authors: F.W. Wang, M.L. Wang, C. Guo, N. Wang, X.W. Li, H. Chen,Y.Y. Dong, X.F. Chen, Z.M. Wang and H.Y. Li
Glycine betaine is an important quaternary ammonium compound that is produced in response to several abiotic stresses in many organisms. The synthesis of glycine betaine requires the catalysis of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH), which can convert betaine aldehyde into glycine betaine in plants, especially in halotolerant..

Cloning and stress response analysis of the PeDREB2A and PeDREB1A genes in moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis)
Authors: H.L. Wu, L. Li, Z.C. Cheng, W. Ge, J. Gao and X.P. Li
Moso bamboo is a large woody bamboo with the highest ecological, economic, and cultural value among all bamboos in Asia. However, environmental stress influences its growth and development and limits its geographic distribution. Therefore, improving its resistance to environmental stress is extremely important. Dehydration responsive element binding (DREB.. Read More»

Enhanced salt tolerance in tomato plants constitutively expressing heat-shock protein in the endoplasmic reticulum
Authors: C. Fu, X.X. Liu, W.W. Yang, C.M. Zhao and J. Liu
The accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes ER stress and activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling pathway. The UPR signaling pathway is associated with plant responses to adverse environmental conditions. Thus, changes in the UPR signaling pathway might affect pla.. Read More»
