Transgenic sugarcane with higher levels of BRK1 showed improved drought tolerance
Transgenic sugarcane overexpressing BRK1 showed improved tolerance to drought stress through modulation of actin polymerization and formation of interlocking marginal lobes in epidermal leaf cells, a typical feat...

Isolation and Characterization of Nuclear Localized Abiotic Stress Responsive Cold Regulated Gene 413 (SsCor413) from Saccharum spontaneum
Winter survival develops efficient tolerance mechanisms in plants by regulating cold-responsive and cold-regulated genes at the transcriptional level. Hence, an insight into the expression would provide the mo...

Isolation and characterization of water-deficit stress-responsive α-expansin 1 (EXPA1) gene from Saccharum complex
In this study, full-length (1282–1330 bp) α-expansin 1 (EXPA1) gene from three different accessions belonging to Saccharum complex (Saccharum officinarum—SoEXPA1, Erianthus arundinaceus—EaEXPA1, and Saccharum spp...

Introduction of Pea DNA Helicase 45 into Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. Hybrid) Enhances Cell Membrane Thermostability and Upregulation of Stress-Responsive Genes Leads to Abiotic Stress Tolerance
DNA helicases are motor proteins that play an essential role in nucleic acid metabolism, by providing a duplex-unwinding function. To improve the drought and salinity tolerance of sugarcane, a DEAD-box helica...

Overexpression of EaDREB2 and pyramiding of EaDREB2 with the pea DNA helicase gene (PDH45) enhance drought and salinity tolerance in sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid)
EaDREB2 overexpressed in sugarcane enhanced tolerance to drought and salinity. When co-transformed with plant DNA helicase gene, DREB2 showed greater level of salinity tolerance than in single-...
