Genetic engineering salt tolerance in crop plants
TL;DR: In this article, isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding Na + /H + exchanger polypeptides with at least 95% homology to that of Arabidopsis thaliana for extrusion of monovalent cations from the cytosol of cells to provide the cell with increased salt tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of carbon and nitrogen-rich metabolites to nitrogen deficiency in PSARK::IPT tobacco plants.

TL;DR: N deficiency was found to stimulate phenolic metabolism and increase these compounds both in P(SARK):IPT as well as in WT tobacco plants, suggesting that nitrate (NO(3)(-)) tissue concentration may act as a signal triggering phenolic compound accumulation in N deficiency plants.
Breeding for abiotic stress resistance: challenges and opportunities.
TL;DR: A case study of the major challenges and opportunities to improve stress tolerance in plants using salinity is presented, with emphasis on the areas of ion homeostasis, osmotic regulation and antioxidant protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photolabeling of Tonoplast from Sugar Beet Cell Suspensions by [3H]5-(N-Methyl-N-Isobutyl)-Amiloride, an Inhibitor of the Vacuolar Na+/H+ Antiport
TL;DR: The close relationship between the dissociation constant value obtained and the constants of inhibition for MIA obtained by fluorescence quenching and isotope exchange suggests that the high affinity component represents a class of sites associated with the tonoplast Na(+)/H(+) antiport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential expression during drought conditioning of a root‐specific S‐adenosylmethionine synthetase from jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) seedlings
TL;DR: Differential screening of a cDNA library constructed from root mRNA from jack pine seedlings exposed to two cycles of drought conditioning identified a S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (sam-s) cDNA, identified and characterized, which appears to be root-specific.
