Association and Linkage Analysis of Aluminum Tolerance Genes in Maize
BACKGROUND Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major worldwide constraint to crop productivity on acidic soils. Al becomes soluble at low pH, inhibiting root growth and severely reducing yields. Maize is an important staple food and commodity crop in acidic soil regions, especially in South America and Africa where these soils are very common. Al exclusion and intracellular tolerance have been suggeste...
متن کاملNew Genes Involved in Osmotic Stress Tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Adaptation to changes in osmolarity is fundamental for the survival of living cells, and has implications in food and industrial biotechnology. It has been extensively studied in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where the Hog1 stress activated protein kinase was discovered about 20 years ago. Hog1 is the core of the intracellular signaling pathway that governs the adaptive response to osmoti...
متن کاملIdentification of the drought tolerance involved candidate genes in foxtail millet through an integrated meta-analysis approach
Drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting production in the agricultural sector. Due to the need to use smart agriculture adapted to climate change, the use of drought-tolerant alternative plants with high water use efficiency is of great importance. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is one of the important drought tolerant fodder and food grains in semi-arid regions. In th...
متن کاملProspecting for novel lipase genes using PCR.
A PCR method suitable for the isolation of lipase genes directly from environmental DNA is described. The problems associated with the low levels of similarity between lipase genes were overcome by extensive analysis of conserved regions and careful primer design. Using this method, a lipase gene (oli-lipase) was isolated directly from environmental DNA. This lipase showed less than 20% similar...
متن کاملA bacterial-type ABC transporter is involved in aluminum tolerance in rice.
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major factor limiting crop production in acidic soil, but the molecular mechanisms of Al tolerance are poorly understood. Here, we report that two genes, STAR1 (for sensitive to Al rhizotoxicity1) and STAR2, are responsible for Al tolerance in rice. STAR1 encodes a nucleotide binding domain, while STAR2 encodes a transmembrane domain, of a bacterial-type ATP binding ...
