SCOF-1-expressing transgenic sweetpotato plants show enhanced tolerance to low-temperature stress.
Low-temperature stress represents one of the principal limitations affecting the distribution and productivity of many plant species, including crops such as sweetpotato. Transgenic sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L. cv. Yulmi) plants expressing the soybean cold-inducible zinc finger protein (SCOF-1) under control of an oxidative stress-inducible peroxidase (SWPA2) promoter (referred to as SF plan...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of an Orange gene that increases carotenoid accumulation and salt stress tolerance in transgenic sweetpotato cultures.
The Orange (Or) gene is responsible for the accumulation of carotenoids in plants. We isolated the Or gene (IbOr) from storage roots of orange-fleshed sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam. cv. Sinhwangmi), and analyzed its function in transgenic sweetpotato calli. The IbOr gene has an open reading frame in the 942 bp cDNA, which encodes a 313-amino acid protein containing a cysteine-rich zinc fi...
متن کاملImproving soybean leaf physiological responses under drought stress by increasing seed zinc and iron concentration
To study the effects of both drought stress and seed zinc and iron concentrations on the photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, and proline and carbohydrate accumulations in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. M9) leaf, a split plot experiment was carried out in 2012 based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in greenhouse conditions at Yasouj University. Drought str...
متن کاملEffects of Sulfur Application on Soil pH and Uptake of Phosphorus, Iron and Zinc in Apple Trees
The main reasons for the fixation of some elements and consequently nutrient deficiencies, especially phosphorus, iron and zinc, are high levels of calcium (calcareous soils) and soil pH. Two sulfur fertilizers (sulfur alone and sulfur + organic material + Thiobacillus spp.) with two rates (2 and 4 kg sulfur/tree) were used to decrease soil pH and availability of P, Fe and Zn in apple trees dur...
متن کاملIron and zinc interaction on leaf nutrients and the essential oil of Pimpinella anisum L.
Foliar spraying of a small amount of micronutrients (iron and zinc) may increase the yield of anise(Pimpinella anisum L.), an anethole-rich important medicinal plant. In order to evaluate the effect of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) spraying (0, 2, 4, and 6 g l-1) on the nutrient contents and the essential oils of anise, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design ...
