Ectopic expression of sorbitol-6-phosphate 2-dehydrogenase gene from Haloarcula marismortui enhances salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana
d-Sorbitol-6-phosphate 2-dehydrogenase (S6PDH, E.C. 1.1.1.140) catalyzes the NADH-dependent conversion of d-fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) to d-sorbitol 6-phosphate (S6P). In this work, recombination and characteriza...

Enhancement of phenol stress tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing glutathione S-transferase
Plant glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are important for protecting plants against oxidative damage. We studied the function of a glutathione S-transferase family protein in Arabidopsis, AtGSTF2. Our results ind...

Phytoremediation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by Arabidopsis plants expressing a NAD(P)H-flavin nitroreductase from Enterobacter cloacae
2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is released into natural environment from demilitarization facilities, manufacturing, and explosive remnants of war; this compound is one of the most recalcitrant explosives. TNT co...

Isolation from Proteus mirabilis of a novel class I 5-enopyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase with glyphosate tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana
Applying the genomic library construction process and colony screening, a novel aroA gene encoding 5-enopyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase from Proteus mirabilis was identified and isolated. Furthermore, the t...

Identification of candidate genes involved in responses of Arabidopsis to polychlorinated biphenyls based on microarray analysis
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are considered as persistent organic pollutants. Their long term accumulation in soils and progressive bioaccumulation in the food chain makes PCBs a risk for human health. Phy...
