TL;DR: It is shown that expression of the Arabidopsis HARDY (HRD) gene in rice improves water use efficiency, the ratio of biomass produced to the water used, by enhancing photosynthetic assimilation and reducing transpiration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Co-expression of AtbHLH17 and AtWRKY28 confers resistance to abiotic stress in Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: In this article, a multigene expression cassette with AtbHLH17 (AtAIB) and AtWRKY28 TFs was developed using modified gateway cloning strategy to achieve the optimum expression of downstream functional genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic study to determine the extent of gene silencing in Nicotiana benthamiana and other Solanaceae species when heterologous gene sequences are used for virus-induced gene silencing.

TL;DR: The results showed that tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-mediated VIGS can be performed in a wide range of Solanaceous plant species and that heterologous gene sequences from far-related plant species can be used to silence their respective orthologs in the VigS-efficient plant N. benthamiana.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycinebetaine-induced water-stress tolerance in codA-expressing transgenic indica rice is associated with up-regulation of several stress responsive genes.

TL;DR: The data show that metabolic engineering for GB is a promising strategy for introducing stress tolerance in crop plants and which could be imparted, in part, by H2O2- and/or GB-induced stress response genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of EcbHLH57 Transcription Factor from Eleusine coracana L. in Tobacco Confers Tolerance to Salt, Oxidative and Drought Stress.
TL;DR: Overexpression of EcbHLH57 in tobacco significantly increased the tolerance to salinity and drought stress with improved root growth and improved tolerance to diverse stresses.
