Functional Genomics of Gaba Metabolism in Yeast Thermotolerance 

Cao, Juxiang (2008-05-15)
?-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a ubiquitous non-protein amino acid which accumulates rapidly in response to diverse environmental stresses. The GABA shunt is a pathway involving three enzymes, glutamate decarboxylase (GAD, ...

Functional Identification and Characterization of an Arabidopsis thaliana Gene Involved in Vitamin B6 Biosynthesis 

Porter, Charmaine (2005-12-15)
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a biological coenzyme seemingly involved in environmental stress tolerance and an important vitamin in human nutrition produced in plants as well as fungi and bacteria. A series ...

Induction of Growth Promotion and Stress Tolerance in Arabidopsis and Tomato by Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria 

Hu, Chia-Hui (2005-08-15)
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) were evaluated for induction of growth promotion in Arabidopsis and enhancement of stress tolerance in tomato under greenhouse and field conditions. Bacillus strain GB03 not only ...

Isolation of Genes from Cold Acclimated Poncirus trifoliata and Citrus unshiu 

Zhang, Cankui (2005-08-15)
Many adverse environmental conditions can affect the productivity and distribution of plant species. Low temperature is one of the most common stresses faced by many plants. Many plants are able to increase their freezing ...

Pyridoxine (Pyridoxamine) 5'-phosphate Oxidase in Arabidopsis Thaliana 

Sang, Yuying (2008-12-15)
Vitamin B6 is the collective term for a group of three related compounds, pyridoxine (PN), pyridoxal (PL) and pyridoxamine (PM), and their phosphorylated derivatives, pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate ...

Role of Arabidopsis Thaliana Calmodulin Isoforms in Tolerance to Abiotic Stress 

Al-quraan, Nisreen (2008-08-15)
Calmodulin and Ca2+ have been implicated in adaptation of plants to changes in its environment. Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) genome has nine genetic loci encoding calmodulin protein isoforms. We have used wild type ...

Thermotolerance in Gossypium hirsutum 

Frederick, Samuel (2006-12-15)
Heat and drought are major factors that affect the annual cotton yield. Cotton farmers are always looking for plants that are more thermotolerant and drought tolerant to increase the yield. These characteristics can be ...
