TLDR
Both general and specific genes were induced in Arabidopsis roots exposed to various rhizotoxic ions, and several defense systems were triggered by all stressors, while specific defense genes were also induced by individual stressors.Abstract:
Background
Rhizotoxic ions in problem soils inhibit nutrient and water acquisition by roots, which in turn leads to reduced crop yields. Previous studies on the effects of rhizotoxic ions on root growth and physiological functions suggested that some mechanisms were common to all rhizotoxins, while others were more specific. To understand this complex system, we performed comparative transcriptomic analysis with various rhizotoxic ions, followed by bioinformatics analysis, in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.read more

A novel cis-acting element in an Arabidopsis gene is involved in responsiveness to drought, low-temperature, or high-salt stress.
TL;DR: The rd29A promoter in both transgenic Arabidopsis and tobacco was analyzed and a novel cis-acting, dehydration-responsive element (DRE) containing 9 bp, TACCGACAT, was identified that is involved in the first rapid response of rd 29A to conditions of dehydration or high salt.
