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.

TL;DR: A comprehensive account of conventional as well as modern approaches to deal with heat and drought stresses have been presented here and a side-by-side critical discussion on salient responses and management strategies for these two important abiotic stresses provides a unique insight into the phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI
General mechanisms of drought response and their application in drought resistance improvement in plants
TL;DR: With increasing knowledge to comprehensively decipher the complicated mechanisms of drought resistance in model plants, it still remains an enormous challenge to develop water-saving and drought-resistant crops to cope with the water shortage and increasing demand for food production in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Insights on Plant Salt Tolerance Mechanisms and Their Potential Use for Breeding.
TL;DR: Understanding the overall control of Na+ accumulation and functional studies of genes involved in transport processes, will provide a new opportunity to improve the salinity tolerance of plants relevant to food security in arid regions.

In Posidonia oceanica cadmium induces changes in DNA methylation and chromatin patterning
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that Cd perturbs the DNA methylation status through the involvement of a specific methyltransferase, linked to nuclear chromatin reconfiguration likely to establish a new balance of expressed/repressed chromatin.

The molecular basis of dehydration tolerance in plants
J. Ingram,Dorothea Bartels +1 more
TL;DR: A large number of genes with a potential role in drought tolerance have been described, and major themes in the molecular response have been established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abscisic Acid Signaling in Seeds and Seedlings
TL;DR: Abscisic acid regulates many agronomically important aspects of plant development, including the synthesis of seed storage proteins and lipids, the promotion of seed desiccation tolerance and dormancy, and the inhibition of the phase transitions from embryonic to germinative growth and from.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought-induced responses of photosynthesis and antioxidant metabolism in higher plants
TL;DR: This review focuses on the ability and strategies of higher plants to respond and adapt to drought stress, including proline and glycine-betaine, as well as the role of abscisic acid under drought stress conditions.

TL;DR: A full-length cDNA microarray containing approximately 7000 independent, full- length cDNA groups is prepared to analyse the expression profiles of genes under drought, cold (low temperature) and high-salinity stress conditions over time, suggesting that various transcriptional regulatory mechanisms function in the drought,cold or high- salinity stress signal transduction pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving crop salt tolerance
TL;DR: Evaluation of claims in the literature that the transfer of a single or a few genes can increase the tolerance of plants to saline conditions reveals that, of the 68 papers produced between 1993 and early 2003, only 19 report quantitative estimates of plant growth.
