Phytochelatins (PCs) are heavy metal binding peptides that play an important role in sequestration and detoxification of heavy metals in plants. In this study, our goal was to develop transgenic plants with increased tolerance for and accumulation of heavy metals from soil by expressing an
Phytochelatins (PCs) are post-translationally synthesized thiol reactive peptides that play important roles in detoxification of heavy metal and metalloids in plants and other living organisms. The overall goal of this study is to develop transgenic plants with increased tolerance for and
Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) was more tolerance to Cs than some sensitive plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Vicia faba, and may have a special detoxification mechanism. In this study, the effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, the antioxidant enzyme system and chelation
The production of vegetable oil in many countries of the world, including India has not been able to keep pace with the increasing requirement, leading to a very large gap in the demand-supply chain. Thus, there is an urgent need to increase the yield potential of the oilseed crops so as to enhance
White rust, causal agent oomycete Albugo candida, is a significant disease of the cultivated Brassica species. The Indian gene pool lines of oilseed mustard, Brassica juncea, are highly susceptible to the pathogen. Resistance to A. candida has been reported in the east
Selenium (Se) can be assimilated and volatilized via the sulfate assimilation pathway. Cystathionine-gamma-synthase (CGS) is thought to catalyze the synthesis of Se-cystathionine from Se-cysteine, the first step in the conversion of Se-cysteine to volatile dimethylselenide. Here the hypothesis was
Six subspecies of hexaploid wheat (Triticum spp.) have been identified, but the origin of Indian dwarf wheat (Triticum sphaerococcum Perc.), the only subspecies with round grains, is currently unknown. Here, we isolated the grain-shape gene Tasg-D1 in T. sphaerococcum Perc. via positional cloning.
In higher plants, two independent pathways are responsible for the biosynthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate, the central five-carbon precursors of all isoprenoids. The cytosolic pathway, which involves mevalonate (MVA) as a key intermediate, provides the precursor
The coding sequence of inositol polyphosphate 6-/3-/5-kinase (GmIPK2) gene was identified and cloned from popular Indian soybean cultivar Pusa-16. The clone was predicted to encode 279 amino acids long, 30.97 kDa protein. Multiple sequence alignment revealed an inositol phosphate-binding motif,
