Stable NaCl Tolerance of Tobacco Cells Is Associated with Enhanced Accumulation of Osmotin.
Osmotin is a major protein which accumulates in tobacco cells (Nicotiana tabacum L. var Wisconsin 38) adapted to low water potentials. Quantitation of osmotin levels by immunoblots indicated that cells adapted to 428 millimolar NaCl contained 4 to 30 times the level of osmotin found in unadapted cells, depending on the stage of growth. Unadapted cells accumulated low levels of osmotin with appa...
متن کاملSolute Accumulation in Tobacco Cells Adapted to NaCl.
Cells of Nicotiana tabacum L. var Wisconsin 38 adapted to NaCl (up to 428 millimolar) which have undergone extensive osmotic adjustment accumulated Na(+) and Cl(-) as principal solutes for this adjustment. Although the intracellular concentrations of Na(+) and Cl(-) correlated well with the level of adaptation, these ions apparently did not contribute to the osmotic adjustment which occurred du...
متن کاملExpression of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa citrate synthase gene in tobacco is not associated with either enhanced citrate accumulation or efflux.
Aluminum (Al) toxicity and poor phosphorus (P) availability are factors that limit plant growth on many agricultural soils. Previous work reported that expression of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa citrate synthase gene in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum; CSb lines) resulted in improved Al tolerance (J.M. de la Fuente, V. Ramírez-Rodríguez, J.L. Cabrera-Ponce, L. Herrera-Estrella [1997] Science 276: 1566-1...
متن کاملCold tolerance in Osmotin transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is associated with modulation in transcript abundance of stress responsive genes
Our containment trials have established cold tolerance in Nicotiana tabacum osmotin (Nt Osm) transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Pusa Ruby). Though, the stress tolerance mechanisms have been studied at physio-biochemical levels, molecular mechanisms underlying the tolerant response are still not well studied. Therefore, quantitative transcript expression of Osmotin and other stress r...
متن کاملAccumulation of terpenoid phytoalexins in maize roots is associated with drought tolerance.
Maize (Zea mays) production, which is of global agro-economic importance, is largely limited by herbivore pests, pathogens and environmental conditions, such as drought. Zealexins and kauralexins belong to two recently identified families of acidic terpenoid phytoalexins in maize that mediate defence against both pathogen and insect attacks in aboveground tissues. However, little is known about...
