Stress-induced proline accumulation in plants is thought to result primarily from enhanced proline biosynthesis and decreased proline degradation. To identify regulatory components involved in proline transport, we screened for Arabidopsis thaliana T-DNA mutants with enhanced tolerance to toxic levels of exogenous proline (45 mM). We isolated the proline resistant 1-1 (pre1-1) mutant and map-ba...

to investigate the effect of salicylic acid (sa) on salinity tolerance of two sugar beet cultivars, this experiment was conducted as split factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications during growing seasons of 2012 and 2013 in research farm of shahid chamran university. the studied factors were three levels of sa (0 mm, 0.5 mm and 1 mm), two levels of salinity (...

To provide a new way to increase water storage and retention of dryland wheat, a field study was conducted at Wenxi experimental site of Shanxi Agricultural University. The effect of subsoiling in fallow period on soil water storage, accumulation of proline, and formation of grain protein after anthesis were determined. Our results showed that subsoiling in fallow period could increase water st...

nitric oxide (no) is a bioactive molecule, which was found to have several physiological roles, including antioxidant. to have a better understanding of the effects of no concentrations (0, 0.1 and 0.2 mm) on germination, growth, photosynthetic pigments, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) under different salinity concentrations (0, 100 and 200 mm of nacl)...

BACKGROUND The development of robust microbes with tolerance to the combined lignocellulose-derived inhibitors is critical for the efficient cellulosic ethanol production. However, the lack of understanding on the inhibition mechanism limited the rational engineering of tolerant strain. Here, through the metabolomic analysis of an adaptation process of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to representative...

The transfer of cultured tomato cells (Lycopersicon esculentum cv VFNT-Cherry) to a low water potential environment resulted in an increased dry weight to fresh weight ratio accompanied by a rapid accumulation of proline. Proline content continued to increase as osmotic adjustment and growth occurred. The initial increase in proline concentration was accompanied by a drop in turgor. However, pr...

The effect of various NaCl treatments (0, 50, 100, 200 and 300 mM) at different growth and development stages (tillering, boot swelling, flowering and polination) of two wheat cultivars (Ghods : salt-sensitive; Boolani : salt-resistant) on proline concentration and the kinetic activity of proline dehydrogenase was studied under greenhouse conditions. Generally, in response to salinity treatment...

background & aim: osmotic stress in plants lead to increase free radicals and plants use different mechanisms to scavenge these radicals. so, researchers apply stresses especially drought stress to increase secondary metabolites such as phenolics, and antioxidants. one of the valuable medicinal plants is yarrow (achillea tenuifolia) which is a perennial plant with different medicinal applic...

OBJECTIVE Tumor protein p53 gene and its negative regulator, murine double minute 2 homolog are important components for cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. An arginine-to-proline substitution at codon 72 in the p53 gene is reported to decrease apoptotic potential, while a thymine-to-guanine polymorphism at nucleotide 309, named SNP309, of murine double minute 2 gene increases transcription of the...
