Journal ArticleDOI

A Tomato Peroxidase Involved in the Synthesis of Lignin and Suberin

TL;DR: It is proposed that the TPX1 product is involved in the synthesis of lignin and suberin, a tomato peroxidase gene the authors have previously isolated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved germination under osmotic stress of tobacco plants overexpressing a cell wall peroxidase.

TL;DR: Overexpression of TPX2 had no effect on wild‐type development, but greatly increased the germination rate under high salt or osmotic stress, and the higher capacity of transgenic seeds in retaining water could result in higher germination rates in conditions where the availability of water is restricted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overexpression of a basic peroxidase in transgenic tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Pera) hairy roots increases phytoremediation of phenol

TL;DR: Evidence of the utility of successive transformation for obtaining stable transgenic hairy roots and demonstrate that engineered hairy root cultures overexpressing tpx1 peroxidase enhance phenol removal and could be useful tools in phytoremediation process are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of Brassica napus hairy root cultures for phenol removal from aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: Hairy roots, using Brassica napus hairy roots as a source of enzymes, showed higher affinity and catalytic efficiency for phenol as substrate than BNP and retained more activity after phenol treatment, and AP appears to be a promising isoenzyme for Phenol removal and for application in continuous treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Establishment of transgenic tobacco hairy roots expressing basic peroxidases and its application for phenol removal

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that TPX1 is involved in phenol removal not only when it was overexpressed in tomato, but also when it is expressed in other plant, such as tobacco.
