Transcriptional response of glycinebetaine-related genes to salt stress and light in leaf beet

Response of root yield and quality of sugar beet (beta vulgaris)to salt stress

Salt-related Genes Expression Pattern in Salt-Tolerant and Salt-Sensitive Cultivars of Cotton (Gossypium sp.) under NaCl Stress

Salinity is one of the most important limitation factors in development of agricultural products. Cotton has a relative tolerance to salinity; however, salinity reduces its growth during germination and seedling stages. In this research, split-factorial design of time based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications was used. The real-time PCR results for, root, stem, and leaves of...

Plant Biotechnology 23, 317–320 (2006)

Beta vulgaris L. accumulates a large amount of glycinebetaine (betaine), a metabolite that is related to salttolerance. Production of betaine involves expression of many genes that encode enzymes such as betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase, choline monooxygenase, phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase, and methionine synthase....

Water stress of sugarbeet as related to leaf and canopy temperatures and to leaf Water content

Identification of novel genes expressed in Brassica napus during leaf senescence and in response to oxidative stress

Senescence is a genetically regulated oxidative process that involves a general degradation of cellular structures and enzymes and the mobilization of the products of degradation to other parts of the plant. The cDNA-AFLP (cDNA-Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) analysis has been used under stringent PCR conditions afforded by ligation of adapters to restriction fragments, and the use of s...
