Transcription profiling of canola trangenic plants expressing ACC deaminase and growth in the presence of nickel
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of a bacterial ACC deaminase transgene in the roots and its impact on nickel tolerance of canola. ACC deaminase breaks down 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, the biosynthetic precursor to the plant hormone ethylene, lowering ethylene levels and improving plant tolerance to stress. Ethylene evolved during plant stress is thought to causes senescence and cell death and worsen stress symptoms. Transgenic plants expressing ACC deaminase from the plant growth-promoting bacteria Pseudomonas putida UW4 are more tolerant to heavy metals in the soil and this expression study helps to illuminate the pathways responsible for this tolerance.
