Open AccessOverexpression of the WRKY transcription factor gene NtWRKY65 enhances salt tolerance in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)
Salt stress severely inhibits plant growth, and the WRKY family transcription factors play important roles in salt stress resistance. In this study, we aimed to characterize the role of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum

NtIAA26 positively regulates salt tolerance in tobacco by modulating potassium uptake and antioxidant activity
Salt stress can retard plant growth and reduce crop yields. Genes in the auxin-responsive Aux/IAA family play key roles in regulating plant growth and development. However, the molecular mechanisms of Aux/IAA ...

Open AccessCharacterization of two cis-acting elements, P1BS and W-box, in the regulation of OsPT6 responsive to phosphors deficiency
Phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the major nutrient stresses restricting plant growth. The uptake of P by plants from soil is mainly mediated by the phosphate (Pi) transporters belonging to the PHT1 family....

Open AccessMetagenomic insights into effects of wheat straw compost fertiliser application on microbial community composition and function in tobacco rhizosphere soil
The application of fertilisers incorporated with plant residues improves nutrient availability in soils, which shifts the microbial community structure and favours plant growth. To understand the impact of whe...

Open AccessGenome-wide identification and expression analysis of HSP90 gene family in Nicotiana tabacum
Heat shock proteins 90 (HSP90s) are a highly conserved protein family of cellular chaperones widely found in plants; they play a fundamental role in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. The genome-wide ana...

Characterization of wheat TaSnRK2.7 promoter in Arabidopsis
Expression of TaSnRK2.7 promoter is strongly induced under abiotic stress and could be used as a valuable tool for improving plant stress resistance via transgenic techniques.

Changes in flavonol content and transcript levels of genes in the flavonoid pathway in tobacco under phosphorus deficiency
Inorganic phosphorus (Pi) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. An imbalance of Pi in plants greatly affects secondary metabolic pathways, including the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway...

Cloning and characterization of SnRK2 subfamily II genes from Nicotiana tabacum
SnRK2 is a plant-specific protein kinase family involved in abiotic stress signalling. In this study, NtSnRK2.1, NtSnRK2.2, and NtSnRK2.3, were cloned from tobacco by in silico cloning and reverse transcription P...

Cloning and characterization of NtSnRK2.7 and NtSnRK2.8 genes involved in abiotic stress responses from Nicotiana tabacum
Sucrose non-fermenting1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) plays a key role in abiotic stress signaling in plants. In this study, gene structures, phylogeny, conserved motifs and promoters of NtSnRK2.7 and NtSnRK2....
