Abstract:

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 salt treatment were measured. At 150 mM NaCl or higher, plant’s leaf and root showed an increase in proline content significantly. Malondialdehyde (MDA) level in non-transgenic plants was considerably higher than the transgenic tobacco plant at 100 mM NaCl and higher. Activities of ascorbateperoxidase (APX) and catalase (CAT) was increased in transgenic as well as non-transgenic plants by increasing salt concentrations. However, transgenic plants showed higher level of antioxidant enzymes activity than non transgenic plants. Salinity tolerance of Nicotine plumbaginifolia transgenic P5CS gene might be closely related to the accumulation of proline, CAT and APX activity and consequently suppressed level of lipid peroxidation.

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 ...

Assessment of salt tolerance in transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum L.) plants expressing the AUX gene

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 fro...

the role of over expression of p5cs gene on proline, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase activity and lipid peroxidation of transgenic tobacco (nicotiana tabacum l.) plant under in vitro drought stress

in this study proline content and activity of catalase (cat), and ascorbate peroxidase (apx) and level of lipid peroxidation in terms of malondialdehyde (mda) content were measured in transgenic tobacco (nicotiana tabacum cv. wisconsin), over expressing a δ-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (p5cs) gene, and non transgenic plants as control. drought stress was applied using polyethylene glycol ...

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...

بیان فراوان ژن Δ1 – پرولین- 5-کربوکسیلات سنتتاز( p5cs ) ، با هدف افزایش مقاومت به تنش‌های اسموتیک در گیاه تراریخت توتون ( Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi )

Proline as a key osmoregulating solute in plants plays an overriding role in osmotic pressure adjustment of the cell under water stress conditions. In plant, a bifunctional enzyme delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (p5cs) promotes and directs proline synthesis during drought stress conditions. The activity of this enzyme is strongly induced to increase proline concentration within the c...
