Abstract:

Transformation of plants using Agrabacterium rhizogenes may affect secondary metabolite production as well as morphological changes. In this study, T-DNA from Ri plasmid in A. rhizogenes carrying pRi15834-PRT35S-GUS was introduced into tobacco leaf segments to initiate development of transformed hairy roots. Plant regeneration from transgenic roots used MS medium, and plants regenerated from transgenic roots were subjected to 300 mM NaCl. Transgenic plants showed higher levels of salt tolerance compared to non-transgenic plants. This could be due to over expression of the AUX gene in transformed hairy roots and plants regenerated from transgenic roots. © 2011 Progress in Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, No.1, 17-23.

Responses of Transgenic Tobacco (Nicotiana plambaginifolia) Over-Expressing P5CS Gene Underin vitroSalt Stress

Salinity is a major limiting factor for plant growth and development. To evaluate the impact of P5CS gene expression under in vitro salt stress condition, transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana plumbaginifolia) carrying P5CS gene and non-transgenic plants were treated with 0, 100, 150, 200 or 250 mM NaCl for 28 days. Proline content, lipid peroxidation and the activity of some antioxidant enzymes after ...

increasing stems length and leaf area in transgenic tobacco plants expressing arabidopsis atexpa18 gene

expansins are cell wall proteins that due to changes in ph, causing the expansion of the cell wall .these proteins are causing deformation of walls through loosening hydrogen bonds between the cellulose and polymer matrix microfibrils .in this study, a root specific gene called atexpa18 -that directly affect the formation of root hairs and also its role  have been proved in other parts of the p...

Osmotic stress tolerance of transgenic tobacco expressing a gene encoding a membrane-located receptor-like protein from tobacco plants.

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) genes regulated during the early stage of responses to wounding were screened by a modified fluorescence differential display method. Among 28 genes initially identified, a particular clone designated NtC7 was subjected to further analysis. Its transcripts were found to accumulate rapidly and transiently within 1 h upon treatments with not only wounding but also salt...
