Cold resistance in plants: A mystery unresolved
Herbaceous temperate plants are capable of developing freezing tolerance when they are exposed to low nonfreezing temperatures. Acquired freezing tolerance involves extensive reprogramming of gene expression and metabolism. Recent full-genome transcript profiling studies, in combination with mutational and transgenic plant analyses, have provided a snapshot of the complex transcriptional networ...
متن کاملMechanisms of high salinity tolerance in plants.
Among abiotic stresses, high salinity stress is the most severe environmental stress, which impairs crop production on at least 20% of irrigated land worldwide. In response to high salinity stress, various genes get upregulated, the products of which are involved either directly or indirectly in plant protection. Some of the genes encoding osmolytes, ion channels, receptors, components of calci...
متن کاملCold Signaling and Cold Response in Plants
Plants are constantly exposed to a variety of environmental stresses. Freezing or extremely low temperature constitutes a key factor influencing plant growth, development and crop productivity. Plants have evolved a mechanism to enhance tolerance to freezing during exposure to periods of low, but non-freezing temperatures. This phenomenon is called cold acclimation. During cold acclimation, pla...
متن کاملMechanisms of Pathogen-Derived Resistance to Viruses in Transgenic Plants.
In 1985, Sanford and Johnston developed the simple and elegant concept of parasiteor pathogen-derived resistance (Sanford and Johnston, 1985). Subsequently, there have been numerous attempts to generate virus resistance in transgenic plants based on this concept through the expression of virusderived genes or genome fragments (Beachy, 1993; Wilson, 1993; Baulcombe, 1994b; Lomonossoff, 1995). Ma...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance in breast cancer therapy
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women. Chemotherapy is the main strategy in the treatment of this disease especially in the advanced form of the disease. Despite the recent progress in the development of new chemotherapy, the effectiveness of these drugs has dramatically reduced due to multidrug resistance. The phenotype of multidrug resistance (MDR) can occur through different me...
