Abstract:

Abiotic stresses such as salinity influence agricultural production. Plants generally respond to stimulus conditions in a complex manner involving many genes and proteins. In the evolution process, halophyte plant Aeluropus littoralis has been proven to have abiotic stress-tolerance capacity. A. littoralis is a salt-resistant halophyte providing a wealthy genetic resource for developing salinity tolerance in crop plants. In the present study, the expression of four candidate ESTs including  PKL, 5PTase, NUC-L2 and GLYI genes were analyzed in root and shoot tissues by quantitative Real-Time PCR in multiple time points under 600 mM NaCl stress and recovery conditions . Al5PTase gene showed the highest significant up-regulation in shoot and root tissues. However, a significant down-regulation was found for AlGLY gene in root tissues. Furthermore, we found the unique up-regulations for AlPKL and AlNUC-L2 genes expression magnitudes in root tissues under recovery conditions. These results may provide useful information for further understanding of the role of A. littoralis genes and their regulatory pathways, revealing important genetic resources for crop improvement.

Expression pattern analysis of transcription factors from Aeluropus littoralis in response to salt stress and recovery condition.

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that decrease crop production. Transcription factors (TFs) are prominent regulators in plant responses to abiotic stress. In the present study, the expression pattern of four salt-induced genes encoding transcription factors, namely, MYB, RF2, GTF, and ARID was studied in response to salt stress (sodium chloride) and recovery conditions. Th...

To develop a salt-tolerant soybean (Glycine max L.) cultivar, a minimal linear Na+/H+ antiporter gene cassette (35S CaMV promoter, open-reading-frame of AINHX1 from Aeluropus littoralis and NOS terminator) was successfully expressed in soybean cultivar TF-29. Southern and Northern blot analysis showed that AlNHX1 was successfully incorporated into the genome and expressed in the transgenic plan...

Morphological and anatomical changes in stems of Aeluropus littoralis under salt stress

Salinity is one of the most important agricultural issues causing considerable yield reduction in agricultural crops. The main adverse effects of salinity are due to excess amount of sodium ions that is toxic to plant cells. Most halophytes are equipped with defense mechanisms enabling them to tolerate the salty habitats. Among grass plants, Aeluropus littoralis is a known monocots hal...
