Journal ArticleDOI
Insertion of a specific fungal 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphatase motif into a plant homologue improves halotolerance and drought tolerance of plants.
Meti Buh Gašparič,Metka Lenassi,Cene Gostinčar,Ana Rotter,Ana Plemenitaš,Nina Gunde-Cimerman,Kristina Gruden,Jana Žel +7 more
TL;DR: Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing this modified SAL1 (mSAL1) showed improved halotolerance and drought tolerance, and demonstrates that adaptations of extremotolerant fungi should be considered as a valuable resource for improving stress-tolerance in plant breeding in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-Wide Identification of the Gossypium hirsutum NHX Genes Reveals That the Endosomal-Type GhNHX4A Is Critical for the Salt Tolerance of Cotton
TL;DR: The results of this study may provide the basis for an in-depth characterization of the regulatory functions of NHX genes related to cotton salt tolerance, especially the endosomal-type GhNHX4A.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resilience of cereal crops to abiotic stress: A review
TL;DR: Recent progresses in adaptation of cereal crops to salinity, drought and cold tolerance are emphasized and the future potentials are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening of abiotic stress-responsive cotton genes using a cotton full-length cDNA overexpressing Arabidopsis library
TL;DR: The method developed in this study lays a foundation for high-throughput cloning and rapid identification of cotton functional genes, and their expression patterns under stress were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal Article
Human biochemical genetics
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance
Muhammad Ashraf,Majid R. Foolad +1 more
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.
Qiang Liu,Mie Kasuga,Yoh Sakuma,Hiroshi Abe,Setsuko Miura,Kazuko Yamaguchi-Shinozaki,Kazuo Shinozaki +6 more
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.
