Overexpression of the phosphatidylinositol synthase gene from Zea mays in tobacco plants alters the membrane lipids composition and improves drought stress tolerance
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) is an important lipid because it serves as a key membrane constituent and is the precursor of the inositol-containing lipids that are found in all plants and animals. It is synthe...

Enhanced expression of phospholipase C 1 (ZmPLC1) improves drought tolerance in transgenic maize
Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) plays an important role in a variety of physiological processes in plants, including drought tolerance. It has been reported that the ZmPLC1 gene cloned from...

Heterologous expression of vacuolar H+-PPase enhances the electrochemical gradient across the vacuolar membrane and improves tobacco cell salt tolerance
The vacuolar H+-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase (H+-PPase) uses pyrophosphate as substrate to generate the proton electrochemical gradient across the vacuolar membrane to acidify vacuoles in plant cells. ...

Improving freezing tolerance of transgenic tobacco expressing sucrose: sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase gene from Lactuca sativa
Sucrose: sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase (1-SST) cDNA from Lactuca sativa, coding the enzyme responsible for lower degree polymers fructan biosynthesis, was cloned by RT-PCR and RACE methods. The 1-SST cDNA under ...
