Photosynthetic carbohydrate metabolism in the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum.
The resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum (Hochst) is able to survive almost complete tissue dehydration when water is withheld from it, and then can rehydrate rapidly on rewatering. This ability is believed to be the result of the accumulation of sucrose in aerial tissues as a result of metabolism of 2-octulose. In this work the metabolic activity of well-watered Craterostigma plantagi...
متن کاملProtection of the Photosynthetic Apparatus from Extreme Dehydration and Oxidative Stress in Seedlings of Transgenic Tobacco
A genetic program that in sunflower seeds is activated by Heat Shock transcription Factor A9 (HaHSFA9) has been analyzed in transgenic tobacco seedlings. The ectopic overexpression of the HSFA9 program protected photosynthetic membranes, which resisted extreme dehydration and oxidative stress conditions. In contrast, heat acclimation of seedlings induced thermotolerance but not resistance to th...
متن کاملDesiccation Tolerance Studied in the Resurrection Plant Craterostigma plantagineum.
This review will focus on the acquisition of desiccation tolerance in the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum. Molecular aspects of desiccation tolerance in this plant will be compared with the response of non-tolerant plants to dehydration. Unique features of C. plantagineum are described like the CDT-1 (Craterostigma desiccation tolerance gene-1) gene and the carbohydrate metabolism...
متن کاملRecovery of the resurrection plant Craterostigma wilmsii from desiccation: protection versus repair.
Craterostigma wilmsii Engl. (homoiochlorophyllous) is a resurrection species that is thought to rely primarily on the protection of cellular components during drying to survive desiccation. The time taken for this protection to be instituted is thought to preclude recovery after rapid drying. Thus the response of C. wilmsii plants to rapid dehydration was investigated. The effect of rapid dryin...
متن کاملPolyamine metabolic canalization in response to drought stress in Arabidopsis and the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum.
In this work, we have studied the transcriptional profiles of polyamine biosynthetic genes and analyzed polyamine metabolic fluxes during a gradual drought acclimation response in Arabidopsis thaliana and the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum. The analysis of free putrescine, spermidine and spermine titers in Arabidopsis arginine decarboxylase (adc1-3, adc2-3), spermidine synthase (...
