Overexpression of the tomato glutamate receptor-like genes SlGLR1.1 and SlGLR3.5 hinders Ca2+ utilization and promotes hypersensitivity to Na+ and K+ stresses

چکیده
irteen glutamate receptor-like genes have recently been identi ed in tomato plants; however, their functions have not been fully elucidated. We overexpressed SlGLR1.1 and SlGLR3.5 in Arabidopsis and found that transgenic plants showed symptoms such as curled and deformed leaves, dwarf stature and retarded growth resembling those of Ca2+ de ciency. e results revealed that the levels of Ca2+ in aerial tissues did not di er between wild-type and transgenic plants, suggesting that overexpression of SlGLR1.1 and SlGLR3.5 did not a ect Ca2+ uptake. Transgenic lines were hypersensitive to K+ and Na+ ionic stresses, which was rescued by addition of Ca2+ to the growth medium. Ectopic expression of SlGLR1.1 and SlGLR3.5 resulted in reduced e ciency of Ca2+ utilization, suggesting that these genes may play a role in calcium assimilation in tomato plants by controlling ionic transport across the membrane.

The effects of salinity and supplied calcium chloride on growth and leaf ions concentration of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) were investigated in Gorgan, Iran. A factorial experiment was conducted based on RCBD with four NaCl levels (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) and four CaCl2 levels (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg L-1). Data of growth, yield and leaf’s Ca, K, and Na content were subjected to analyze ...

Introduction: Bacteria have at least one sigma factor (σ-factor) that transcribes the genes required for cell viability. Usually, transcription of σ-factors occurs and changes in response to a variety of environmental stresses. Expression of σ-factors is one of the strategies which is used in response to different stress conditions. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects...
