Callus induction and regeneration in sugarcane under drought stress

TL;DR: Investigation of the response of sugarcane genotyps to drought stress using calli as a model system recommends preference for GT 54-9 genotypes, which is considered the most promising genotype, showing more tolerance to drought Stress based on all studied traits.

Mapping consistent additive and epistatic QTLs for plant production traits under drought in target populations of environment using locally adapted landrace in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

TL;DR: Seven consistent QTLs associated with plant production traits were mapped using IR62266/Norungan recombinant inbred lines under drought and non-stress conditions in target populations of environment and may have genes evolutionarily conserved in response to drought.

Introduction to quantitative genetics

TL;DR: The genetic constitution of a population: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and changes in gene frequency: migration mutation, changes of variance, and heritability are studied.

Human biochemical genetics

Grüneberg H
- 01 Jul 1960 - 
TL;DR: For the next few weeks the course is going to be exploring a field that’s actually older than classical population genetics, although the approach it’ll be taking to it involves the use of population genetic machinery.

Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance

TL;DR: In this review article, numerous examples of successful application of these compounds to improve plant stress tolerance are presented and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of exogenously applied GB and proline is expected to aid their effective utilization in crop production in stress environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two transcription factors, DREB1 and DREB2, with an EREBP/AP2 DNA binding domain separate two cellular signal transduction pathways in drought- and low-temperature-responsive gene expression, respectively, in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: Overexpression of the DREB1A cDNA in transgenic Arabidopsis plants not only induced strong expression of the target genes under unstressed conditions but also caused dwarfed phenotypes in the transgenic plants, and revealed freezing and dehydration tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drought and Salt Tolerance in Plants

TL;DR: The responses of plants to salt and water stress are described, the regulatory circuits which allow plants to cope with stress are presented, and how the present knowledge can be applied to obtain tolerant plants is discussed.
