Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges and perspectives to improve crop drought and salinity tolerance.
TL;DR: This review discusses different factors hampering the successful transfer of beneficial genes from model species to crops, emphasizing some limitations in the phenotypic characterisation and definition of the stress tolerant plants developed so far.
Journal ArticleDOI
The future of science: food and water for life.
TL;DR: Throughout the world, an estimated one billion people lack access to clean fresh water, and almost as many suffer from hunger and malnourishment.
Journal ArticleDOI
DOF-binding sites additively contribute to guard cell-specificity of AtMYB60 promoter
Eleonora Cominelli,Massimo Galbiati,Alessandra Albertini,Fabio Fornara,Fabio Fornara,Lucio Conti,George Coupland,Chiara Tonelli +7 more
TL;DR: A modular organization for the AtMYB60 promoter is demonstrated and new promoter modules are provided as useful tools for manipulating gene expression in guard cells, both for physiological studies and future biotechnological applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic crops coping with water scarcity.
TL;DR: The various approaches used so far to produce transgenic plants having improved tolerance to abiotic stresses are reviewed, and criteria for choosing which genes to work on and which gene expression promoters have been used to obtain successful results are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene trap lines identify Arabidopsis genes expressed in stomatal guard cells.
Massimo Galbiati,Laura Simoni,Giulio Pavesi,Eleonora Cominelli,Priscilla Francia,Alain Vavasseur,Timothy Nelson,Michael W. Bevan,Chiara Tonelli +8 more
TL;DR: The lines described in this work identify novel genes involved in the modulation of stomatal activity, provide useful markers for the study of developmental pathways in guard cells, and are a valuable source of guard cell-specific promoters.
