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...

Gene expression profile of Arabidopsis under sodium bisulfite treatment by oligo-microarray analysis
Low concentrations of sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) can enhance some plant photosynthetic efficiency. To investigate the growth process of Arabidopsis seedlings in response to NaHSO3 treatment and to obtain a better ...

Improved glyphosate resistance of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase from Vitis vinifera in transgenic Arabidopsis and rice by DNA shuffling
To date, only AroA variant derived from Agrobacterium tumefaciens CP4 has been used to generate the commercial glyphosate-resistant crops currently available in the market. This single source of the EPSPS gene ma...

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...

The myb transcription factor MdMYB6 suppresses anthocyanin biosynthesis in transgenic Arabidopsis
The R2R3-Myb proteins comprise a large family of plant transcription factors that regulate the expression of multiple drought-responsive and cold-responsive genes by binding special cis-elements at the promote...

Isolation, optimization, and functional analysis of the cDNA encoding transcription factor OsDREB1B in Oryza Sativa L.
A previous study had indicated that the transcription factors DREB/CBF (DRE-binding protein/C-repeat binding factor) play important roles in the expression of many stress inducible genes under cold-temperature...
