Open AccessDevelopment of Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression system in Caragana intermedia and characterization of CiDREB1C in stress response
The Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation is a versatile and indispensable way of rapid analyzing gene function in plants. Despite this transient expression system has been successfully applied in a num...

Open AccessIdentification of the WRKY gene family and functional analysis of two genes in Caragana intermedia
WRKY transcription factors, one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in plants, play important roles in plant development and various stress responses. The WRKYs of Caragana intermedia are still ...

Interactions between selenite and different forms of antimony and their effects on root morphology of paddy rice
The effects of Sb(V), alone or combined with Se, on the growth and root development of plants are unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate the interaction between selenite and different forms of Sb and...

Open AccessTwo NAC transcription factors from Caragana intermedia altered salt tolerance of the transgenic Arabidopsis
Plants are continuously challenged by different environment stresses, and they vary widely in their adjustability. NAC (NAM, ATAF and CUC) transcription factors are known to be crucial in plants tolerance resp...

A dual effect of Se on Cd toxicity: evidence from plant growth, root morphology and responses of the antioxidative systems of paddy rice
It is well established that low levels of selenium (Se) are protective against low levels of cadmium (Cd) toxicity and can significantly reduce Cd uptake in plants. However, our previous study reported that th...

Calmodulin-binding protein CBP60g is a positive regulator of both disease resistance and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis
Calmodulin-binding proteins (CBPs) have been known to be involved in both biotic and abiotic stress responses. Recently, two closely related CBPs, Arabidopsis SAR Deficient 1 and CBP60g, were found to belong to a...

Open AccessEffect of NaCl on leaf H+-ATPase and the relevance to salt tolerance in two contrasting poplar species
During a 30-day period of increasing salinity, we examined the effects of NaCl on leaf H+-ATPase and salinity tolerance in 1-year-old plants of Populus euphratica Oliv. (salt resistant) and P. popularis 35–44 (P....

Salt-induced expression of genes related to Na+/K+ and ROS homeostasis in leaves of salt-resistant and salt-sensitive poplar species
Using the Affymetrix poplar genome array, we explored the leaf transcriptome of salt-tolerant Populus euphratica Oliv. and salt-sensitive P. popularis 35-44 (P. popularis) under control and saline conditions. Our...

Leaf photosynthesis, fluorescence response to salinity and the relevance to chloroplast salt compartmentation and anti-oxidative stress in two poplars
In a 16-day study, the effect of increasing soil NaCl on leaf photosynthesis, chlorophyll a fluorescence, chloroplast ion compartmentation, variations of SOD (superoxide dismutase) and POD (peroxidase) isoenzymes...
