Maintenance of Normal Stress Tolerance in the Moss Physcomitrella patens Lacking Chloroplastic CuZn-Superoxide Dismutase
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) catalyze the dismutation of superoxide and play an important role in reducing oxidative stress in plants. Based on in-gel SOD activity staining, chloroplasts of the moss Physcomitrella patens have two CuZn-SODs as the major SOD isozymes and minor SODs, including a Fe-SOD and two Mn-SODs. To investigate the contribution of chloroplastic SODs to stress tolerance in P....
متن کاملInvolvement of microRNA in copper deficiency-induced repression of chloroplastic CuZn-superoxide dismutase genes in the moss Physcomitrella patens.
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are metallo-enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide radicals. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the expression of CuZn-SOD in both the chloroplast and cytosol was reported to be down-regulated by microRNA398 (miR398) during growth on low copper. The moss Physcomitrella patens contains chloroplastic and cytosolic CuZn-SOD genes, but lacks miR398. From analysis of ...
متن کاملCulturing the moss Physcomitrella patens.
This article includes a series of methods for culturing the moss Physcomitrella patens at all stages of its life cycle. Gametophytes are axenically cultured on solid agar-based media and in shaken liquid cultures. For long-term storage of gametophytes, cultures are maintained on solid medium at 10°C in a very short day. Cryopreservation may also be used. Finally, sporophytes are generated by se...
متن کاملRNA interference in the moss Physcomitrella patens.
The moss Physcomitrella patens performs efficient homologous recombination, which allows for the study of individual gene function by generating gene disruptions. Yet, if the gene of study is essential, gene disruptions cannot be isolated in the predominantly haploid P. patens. Additionally, disruption of a gene does not always generate observable phenotypes due to redundant functions from rela...
متن کاملCytokinins from the Moss Physcomitrella patens.
Gametophore-over-producing mutants of the moss, Physcomitrella patens, when grown in liquid culture export high levels of cytokinin into their culture medium. The cytokinin produced by these mutants is postulated to account for their peculiar phenotype, that of mosses treated with exogenous cytokinin. N(6)-(Delta(2)-isopentenyl)adenine, the major cytokinin, has been identified previously in two...
