Heterology expression of the Arabidopsis C-repeat/dehydration response element binding factor 1 gene confers elevated tolerance to chilling and oxidative stresses in transgenic tomato.
Tsai Hung Hsieh,Jent Turn Lee,Pei Tzu Yang,Li Hui Chiu,Yee-yung Charng,Yu Chie Wang,Ming-Tsair Chan +6 more
TL;DR: Results from the current study suggest that heterologous CBF1expression in transgenic tomato plants may induce several oxidative-stress responsive genes to protect from chilling stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomato plants ectopically expressing Arabidopsis CBF1 show enhanced resistance to water deficit stress.
TL;DR: Results indicated that the heterologous Arabidopsis CBF1 can confer water deficit resistance in transgenic tomato plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agrobacterium-mediated production of transgenic rice plants expressing a chimeric α-amylase promoter/β-glucuronidase gene
TL;DR: Data demonstrate successful gene transfer and sexual inheritance of the chimeric genes in a japonica type of rice and integration of foreign genes into the genomes of transgenic plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
An efficient protocol for sugarcane (Saccharum spp. L.) transformation mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Ariel D. Arencibia,Elva R. Carmona,Pilar Tellez,Ming-Tsair Chan,Su-May Yu,Luis E Trujillo,Pedro Oramas +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that three main factors: the use of young regenerable calluses as target explants, induction and/or improvement of the A. tumefaciens virulence system with sugarcane cell cultures and pre-induction of organogenesis or somatic-embryogenesis-like sexual embryos seem to be crucial in order to increase the cells competence for T-DNA transfer process.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tomato bZIP transcription factor, SlAREB, is involved in water deficit and salt stress response
Tsai-Hung Hsieh,Chia Wen Li,Ruey-Chih Su,Chiu-Ping Cheng,Sanjaya,Sanjaya,Yi-Chien Tsai,Ming-Tsair Chan +7 more
TL;DR: Results show that SlAREB functions to regulate some stress-responsive genes and that its overproduction improves plant tolerance to water deficit and salt stress.
