Abstract:

The expression pattern of TomPRO2 and LaPA1 genes in two tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cultivars named as Isfahani and Shirazi under in vitro salt stress were investigated. Four to six weeks old in vitro grown seedlings were transferred on MS medium containing 0, 80 and 160 mM NaCl and untreated plants were used as control. RNA was extracted from root and leaf and then cDNA was synthesized. Semi-quantitative analysis of TomPRO2 and LaPA1 expression using specific primers showed that with increasing of NaCl concentration from 0 to 160 mM, the expression level of TomPRO2 and LaPA1 genes in roots of both tomato cultivars did not change significantly. In leaf TomPR2 gene expression decreased significantly at 160 mM NaCl. At the same concentration of NaCl (160 mM) LaPA1 gene expression in leaf increased significantly. Based on the obtained results, TomPRO2 and LaPA1 genes have different expression patterns under in vitro salt stress in tomato root and leaf. However, both genes have a role in response 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...

in vitro semi-quantitative determinataion of human gamma-interferon expression by rt-pcr

secreted cytokines of th1 (t-helper)/th2 cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases. th1 cells secrete predominantly ifn-γ and il-2 which regulate cell-mediated immunity against intracellular pathogens and tumors. in this study, expression of ifn-γ was studied using semiquantitative rt-pcr. in brief, lymphocytes of a healthy donor were stimulated with pha (1μg/106 cell/ml...

Quantitative expression analysis of P5CS and BADH genes in cultivated wheat plants under salt and ABA treatments

Plants encounter various stresses such as drought and salinity which adversely affect growth, development and crop productivity. The expression of the genes Delta -1- pyr-roline – 5 - carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) and Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) extends throughout various protec-tive mechanisms in plants and allows them to adapt to unfavorable environmental condi-tions. P5CS and BADH ...

Selection of suitable reference genes for quantitative RT-PCR normalization in the halophyte Halostachys caspica under salt and drought stress

The plants are always subjected to various environmental stress, because of plant sessile growth. qRT-PCR is a sensitive and reliable technology, and the normalization of target gene expression with suitable reference genes is very important for obtaining accurate data. Halostachys caspica is an extremely salt-tolerant halophyte belonging to Chenopodiaceae and a good candidate to explore the st...
