Salt tolerance of transgenic rice overexpressing yeast mitochondrial Mn-SOD in chloroplasts

TLDR
It is suggested that increased levels of ascorbate peroxidase and high levels of chloroplastic SOD in the transformant are important factors for salt resistance in rice.

Physiology and molecular biology of salinity stress tolerance in plants

Raj Kumar Sairam, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2004 - 
TL;DR: Salinity stress response is multigenic, as a number of processes affected, such as various compatible solutes/osmolytes, polyamines, reactive oxygen species and antioxidant defence mecha- nism, ion transport and compartmentalization of inj u- rious ions.

Biotechnological approach of improving plant salt tolerance using antioxidants as markers.

TL;DR: The role of different antioxidants as potential selection criteria for improving plant salt tolerance has been critically discussed and the potential of this approach in counteracting stress-induced oxidative stress has been discussed at length in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI

Galactinol and raffinose constitute a novel function to protect plants from oxidative damage.

TL;DR: The possibility that galactinol and raffinose scavenge hydroxyl radicals as a novel function to protect plant cells from oxidative damage caused by MV treatment, salinity, or chilling is suggested.

Antioxidant systems and o2.?/h2o2 production in the apoplast of pea leaves. its relation with salt-induced necrotic lesions in minor veins

TL;DR: The results suggest a strong interaction between both cell compartments in the control of the apoplastic ASC content in pea leaves, but this anti-oxidative response does not seem to be sufficient to remove the harmful effects of high salinity.
Journal ArticleDOI

ROS homeostasis in halophytes in the context of salinity stress tolerance

TL;DR: It is argued that truly salt-tolerant species possessing efficient mechanisms for Na(+) exclusion from the cytosol may not require a high level of antioxidant activity, as they simply do not allow excessive ROS production in the first instance.

H2O2 from the oxidative burst orchestrates the plant hypersensitive disease resistance response

TL;DR: It is reported here that H2O2 from this oxidative burst not only drives the cross-linking of cell wall structural proteins, but also functions as a local trigger of programmed death in challenged cells and as a diffusible signal for the induction in adjacent cells of genes encoding cellular protectants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Superoxide dismutase and stress tolerance

TL;DR: Prospects for Stress Tolerance through Genetic Engineering of SOD and MnSOD Overexpression are surveyed, and the Mechanism of Sod Regulation is studied.

Protection against oxygen radicals: an important defence mechanism studied in transgenic plants

TL;DR: Transgenic plants offered a means by which to achieve a more complete understanding of the roles of the enzymes involved in protection against stress of many types: environmental and man-made.

Antioxidant response to NaCl stress in salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive cultivars of cotton

TL;DR: Protection from oxidative damage by higher levels of antioxidants and a more active ascorbate-glutathione cycle may be involved in tbe development of salt tolerance in cotton.
