As a first step toward the exploitation of the disaccharide trehalose as a stress-protective and preservative agent in plants, we engineered trehalose biosynthesis in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and potato (Solanum tuberosum) by introducing the otsA and otsB genes from Escherichia coli, which encode
The E. coli trehase synthalose gene(otsA) was transferred into Nicotiana tabacum mediated by Agrobacterium, but the method for detecting low concentration of trehalose in transgenic plant was not available. The high performance liquid chromatograph(HPLC) with evaporative light-scatting
Suspension cultures of carrot (Daucus carota, line C1), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum, line TX1), and Nicotiana plumbaginifolia (line NP) were frozen under controlled conditions with trehalose as the sole cryoprotectant. Maximal post-thaw viability (71-74%), measured by phenosafranin dye exclusion, was
BACKGROUND
The trehalose (Tre) pathway has strong effects on growth and development in plants through regulation of carbon metabolism. Altering either Tre or trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) can improve growth and productivity of plants as observed under different water availability. As yet, there are no
Improvement in photosynthesis per unit leaf area has been difficult to alter by breeding or genetic modification. We report large changes in photosynthesis in Nicotiana tabacum transformed with E. coli genes for the trehalose pathway. Significantly, photosynthetic capacity (CO2 assimilation at
Trehalose is a nonreducing α,α-1,1-disaccharide in a wide range of organisms, and has diverse biological functions that range from serving as an energy source to acting as a protective/signal sugar. However, significant amounts of trehalose have rarely been detected in higher plants, and the
Trehalose plays an important role in stress tolerance in plants. Trehalose-producing, transgenic rice (Oryza sativa) plants were generated by the introduction of a gene encoding a bifunctional fusion (TPSP) of the trehalose-6-phosphate (T-6-P) synthase (TPS) and T-6-P phosphatase (TPP) of
WRINKLED1 (WRI1), the transcriptional activator of fatty acid synthesis, was recently identified as a target of KIN10, a catalytic α-subunit of the SUCROSE-NON-FERMENTING1-RELATED PROTEIN KINASE1 (SnRK1). We tested the hypothesis that trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P), a signal of cellular sucrose status,
The yeast trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene (TPS1) was engineered under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus regulatory sequences (CaMV35S) for expression in plants. Using Agrobacterium-mediated transfer, the gene was incorporated into the genomic DNA and constitutively expressed in
Validamycin A was used to inhibit in vivo trehalase activity in tobacco enabling the study of subsequent changes in new C partitioning into cellulosic biomass and lignin precursors. After 12-h exposure to treatment, plants were pulse labeled using radioactive (11)CO(2), and the partitioning of
In 2006 and 2007, a new bacterial disease was observed in field-cultivated soybeans in Boeun District and Munkyung City of Korea. The disease caused severe blighting of soybean (Glycine max) leaves. Soybean leaves in fields showed yellowish spots with brown centers. Brown and dead areas of variable
The influence of sugars in culture media on the kinetics of the mono- and disaccharide uptake and cell growth behavior was studied by mid-infrared spectroscopy using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) equipped with an attenuate total reflection accessory (ATR). We performed the plant
The Escherichia coli trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene(otsA) was engineered under the control of cauliflower mosaic virus regulatory sequences (CaMV35S) for expression in plants. OtsA gene was incorporated into the chromosome DNA by Agrobacterium-mediated transfer and expressed in Nicotiana
Trehalose metabolism and its intermediate trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) are implicated in sensing and signalling sucrose availability. Four class I TREHALOSE-6-PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE (TPS1) genes were identified in kiwifruit, three of which have both the TPS and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP)
