Journal ArticleDOI
A novel salt-tolerant L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase from Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka, a halophytic wild rice: molecular cloning, bacterial overexpression, characterization, and functional introgression into tobacco-conferring salt tolerance phenotype.
Manoj Majee,Susmita Maitra,Krishnarup Ghosh Dastidar,Sitakanta Pattnaik,Anirban Chatterjee,Nitai C. Hait,Kali P. Das,Arun Lahiri Majumder +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a salt-tolerant MIPS from the wild halophytic rice, Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka, was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introgression of a novel salt-tolerant L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase from Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka (PcINO1) confers salt tolerance to evolutionary diverse organisms.
Aparajita Das-Chatterjee,Lily Goswami,Susmita Maitra,Krishnarup Ghosh Dastidar,Sudipta Ray,Arun Lahiri Majumder +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that functional introgression of the PcINO1 gene confers salt‐tolerance to evolutionary diverse organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes including crop plants albeit to a variable extent.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Insight into the Molecular Basis of Salt Tolerance of l-myo-Inositol 1-P Synthase (PcINO1) from Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka, a Halophytic Wild Rice
Krishnarup Ghosh Dastidar,Susmita Maitra,Lily Goswami,Debjani Roy,Kali P. Das,Arun Lahiri Majumder +5 more
TL;DR: A 37-amino acid stretch between Trp-174 and Ser-210 has been confirmed as the salt-tolerance determinant domain in PcINO1 both by loss or gain of salt tolerance by either deletion or by addition to salt-sensitive MIPS(s) of Oryza and Brassica juncea.
Journal ArticleDOI
sll1981, an acetolactate synthase homologue of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, functions as l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase
Anirban Chatterjee,Krishnarup Ghosh Dastidar,Susmita Maitra,Aparajita Das-Chatterjee,Hassan Dihazi,Klaus Eschrich,Arun Lahiri Majumder +6 more
TL;DR: In vitro MIPS activity and cross reactivity against MIPS antibody of purified recombinant sll1981 further consolidated its identity as the second probable MIPS gene in Synechocystis sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning, characterization and expression of a chloroplastic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from Porteresia coarctata conferring salt-tolerance in transgenic tobacco

TL;DR: The PcCFR transgenics showed better plant growth during exposure to salt stress in comparison to either the OsCFR or the empty vector transformed plants, and revealed enhanced photosynthetic efficiency coupled with protection to both photodamage of PSII and chlorophyll degradation through better reactive oxygen species scavenging at higher concentration of NaCl during late salt-stress growth.
