plant growth is a result of cell division and cell enlargement. expansins are proteins that mediate long-term extension of isolated cell walls and they play a variety of roles in plant cells. in this study the atexpb2 gene was over-expressed in arabidopsis thaliana. the gene was isolated from genomics dna of arabidopsis and cloned into mediated vectors; pgemt and pbi121 vectors. transformation ...

trr14 is a novel protein important in trehalose (α-d-glucosyl-[1,1]-α-d-glucopyranoside) signaling in arabidopsis. in this research, we provided evidences to demonstrate that trr14 plays role in arabidopsis responses to salt and drought stress. the transgenic arabidopsis plants over-expressing trr14 under the control of camv 35s promoter were generated. transformed lines showed higher transcrip...

In any organism that reproduces sexually, DNA Recombination plays vital roles in the generation of allelic diversity as well as in preservation of genome fidelity. Genome fidelity is particularly important in plants because mutations occurring during the development of flowering plants are heritable and can be passed onto the next generation. One of the gene families that play crucial roles in ...

the evolution of biota had been tightly linked with formation of atmospheric di-oxygen (o2).since the shift from anaerobic to aerobic life results in reprogramming gene expression through the regulatory interactions between transcription factors and their target sequences, the anaerobic responsive elements (ares). the purpose of this study is to consider ares; the most frequent and divergent mo...

trehalose (a-d-glucosyl-[1,1]-a-d-glucopyranoside) is involved in mechanisms that coordinate metabolism with plant growth adaptation and development. the main objective of the current work was to find out whether trehalose feeding affects the expression of two genes involved in photosynthesis: one gene coding for photosystem1 subunit h (ps1-h) and the other for the light harvesting complex b1 (...

Manipulation of stress related transcription factors to improve plant stress tolerance is a major goal of current biotechnology researches. MYC2 gene encodes a key stress-related transcription factor involved in Jasmonate (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathways in Arabidopsis. Brassica napus, as a globally important oilseed crop, is a close relative of Arabidopsis.  In the present study...
