Project description:ra06-02_staygreen - drought and salt stress response - Modification of the transcriptome by the eskimo mutation and response to stress. - Individual plants were grown in Fertiss clods in a culture chamber. 3 treatments were made to the plants : control, drought and salt. Keywords: gene knock out,treated vs untreated comparison
Project description:Biotic and abiotic stresses limit agricultural yields, and plants are often simultaneously exposed to multiple stresses. Combinations of stresses such as heat and drought or cold and high light intensity, have profound effects on crop performance and yeilds To analyze such responses, we initially compared transcriptome changes in ten Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes using cold, heat, high light, salt and flagellin treatments as single stress factors or their double combinations. Arabidopsis thaliana plants of ecotypes (Col, Ler, C24, Cvi, Kas1, An1, Sha, Kyo2, Eri and Kond) were subjected to the following stress treatments: Salt, Cold, Heat, High Light (HL), Salt+Heat, Salt+HL, Cold+HL, Heat+HL, as well as FLG (Flagellin, flg22 peptide), Cold+FLG, Heat+FLG

Project description:Our study showed that the CHD3 protein PKL plays a role in the regulation of cold stress response likely via the regulation of chlorophyll accumulation under low temperature conditions. Our results suggest that PKL may regulate cold response partly via a CBF3-mediated pathway. Besides, our results reveal that the PKL gene is also involved in the regulation of drought and salt stress resistance.
