Factor de conversión proteica y capacidad antioxidante de isoflavonas en Glycine max

The conversion factor of nitrogen to proteins and isoflavones present in Glycine max was determined. For the determination of the conversion factor, we worked with solubilizing the proteins at alkaline pH and then extracting them with acidic pH. The proteins were iden...

Regulon: An overview of plant abiotic stress transcriptional regulatory system and role in transgenic plants

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract Population growth is increasing rapidly around the world, in these consequences we need to produce more foods to full fill the demand of increased population. The world is facing global warming due to urbanizations and industrialization and in this concerns plants exposed continuously to abiotic...

Molecular structures and functional exploration of NDA family genes respond tolerant to alkaline stress in Gossypium hirsutum L

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: The internal NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDA) gene family was a member of the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (ND) gene family, mainly involved in the non-phosphorylated respiratory pathways in mitochondria and played crucial roles in response to abiotic stress. METHODS: The whole genome identification, str...

Structure and character analysis of cotton response regulator genes family reveals that GhRR7 responses to draught stress

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: Cytokinin signal transduction is mediated by a two-component system (TCS). Two-component systems are utilized in plant responses to hormones as well as to biotic and abiotic environmental stimuli. In plants, response regulatory genes (RRs) are one of the main members of the two-component syst...

Characterization of AhLea-3 and its enhancement of salt tolerance in transgenic peanut plants

Electron J Biotechnol; 49 (), 2021
BACKGROUND: Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins were reported to be related to adversity stress and drought tolerance. Lea-3 from Arachis hypogaea L. (AhLea-3) was previously found to be related to salt tolerance according to the result of transcriptome profiling and digital gene expression analys...

Genome-wide identification and characteristic analysis of the downstream melatonin metabolism gene GhM2H in Gossypium hirsutum L

Biol. Res; 54 (), 2021
BACKGROUND: Melatonin 2-hydroxylase (M2H) is the first enzyme in the catabolism pathway of melatonin, which catalyzes the production of 2-hydroxymelatonin (2-OHM) from melatonin. The content of 2-hydroxymelatonin in plants is much higher than that of melatonin. So M2H may be a key enzyme in the metabolic...

Responses of antioxidant enzymes, photosynthetic pigments and carbohydrates in micropropagated Pitcairnia encholirioides L.B. Sm. (Bromeliaceae) under ex vitro water deficit and after rehydration

Braz. j. biol; 79 (1), 2019
Abstract In this study, the activities of antioxidant enzymes, photosynthetic pigments, proline and carbohydrate contents in Pitcairnia encholirioides under ex vitro conditions of water deficit were evaluated. Results show that plants under progressive water stress, previously in vitro cultured in media ...

Knock-down the expression of TaH2B-7D using virus-induced gene silencing reduces wheat drought tolerance

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. Exploration of drought-tolerant genes is essential for the genetic improvement of drought tolerance in wheat. Previous studies have shown that some histone encoding genes are involved in plant drought ...

PDIL1-2 can indirectly and negatively regulate expression of the AGPL1 gene in bread wheat

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), the key enzyme in plant starch biosynthesis, is a heterotetramer composed of two identical large subunits and two identical small subunits. AGPase has plastidial and cytosolic isoforms in higher plants, whereas it is mainly detected in the cytosol of gr...

Antioxidant response of cowpea co-inoculated with plant growth-promoting bacteria under salt stress

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (3), 2018
Abstract Soil salinity is an important abiotic stress worldwide, and salt-induced oxidative stress can have detrimental effects on the biological nitrogen fixation. We hypothesized that co-inoculation of cowpea plants with Bradyrhizobium and plant growth-promoting bacteria would minimize the deleterious ...
