  • Characterization of a Type 3 Metallothionein Isolated from Porteresia Coarctata
    BIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 55 (1): 119-124, 2011 Characterization of a type 3 metallothionein isolated from Porteresia coarctata B. USHA, N.S. KEERAN, M. HARIKRISHNAN, K. KAVITHA and A. PARIDA* Plant Molecular Biology Laboratory, M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Taramani, Chennai-600113, India Abstract Metallothioneins are involved in detoxification of heavy metals. A cDNA encoding type 3 metallothionein (PcMT3) was isolated from the salt stressed leaf cDNA library of Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka (wild rice) that grows well in the heavy metal laden estuarine soils. The PcMT3 cDNA (581 bp) encodes a protein of 64 amino acids. PcMT3 is highly homologous (82 %) to OsMT-I-3a of rice, but is unique from other type 3 plant MTs due to the presence of an additional glycine residue in the C-terminal domain. Analysis of the 5′ upstream region of PcMT3 showed the presence of cis-acting elements like the CG box and STRE previously reported to be involved in gene expression under heavy metal stress. Southern analysis suggested the presence of more than one copy of PcMT3-like sequences in the P. coarctata genome. Analysis of genomic clone of PcMT3 revealed the presence of two introns. A comparison of the genomic sequence of PcMT3 with closely similar type 3 MTs from rice and mangrove species revealed conservation in the number and position of introns. Transcript profiling for PcMT3 in P. coarctata leaves in the presence of Cd, Cu and Zn showed an increase in transcript accumulation. Additional key words: cis-acting elements, heavy metals, salt stress, wild rice. Introduction Plants acquire heavy metal tolerance through various reported in plants like rice, hybrid poplar, oil palm and mechanisms like compartmentalization, sequestration, lichens (Abdullah et al.

Swaminathan Research Foundation, III Cross Street, Taramani Institutional Area, Chennai, 600113, India b Institute of Life Sciences (ILS), NALCO Square, Bhubaneswar, 751023, Odisha, India ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Soil salinization is a major abiotic stress condition that affects about half of global agricultural lands. Salinity Vacuolar NHX leads to osmotic shock, ionic imbalance and/or toxicity and build-up of reactive oxygen species. Na⁺/H⁺ anti- Halophyte porters (NHXs) are integral membrane transporters that catalyze the electro-neutral exchange of K⁺/Na⁺ for H⁺ Porteresia coarctata and are implicated in cell expansion, development, pH/ion homeostasis and salt tolerance. Porteresia coarctata is Salt stress a salt secreting halophytic wild rice that thrives in the coastal-riverine interface. P. coarctata NHX1 (PcNHXI) qRT-PCR expression is induced by salinity in P. coarctata roots and shows high sequence identity to Oryza sativa NHX1. PcNHX1 confers hygromycin and Li+ sensitivity and Na+ tolerance transport in a yeast strain lacking sodium transport systems. Additionally, transgenic PcNHX1 expressing tobacco seedlings (PcNHX1 promoter) show significant growth advantage under increasing concentrations of NaCl and MS salts. Etiolated PcNHX1 seedlings also exhibit significantly elongated hypocotyl lengths in 100 mM NaCl.

  • The 8Th MAFF International Workshop on Genetic Resources: Integration of Biodiversity and Genome Technology for Crop Improvement
    Integration of Biodiversity and GenomeTechnology for Crop Improvement Edited by K. Oono, T. Komatsuda, K. Kadowaki and D. Vaughan Integration of Biodiversity and Genome Technology for Crop Improvement Proceedings of the Joint International Workshop 2000 International Workshop Molecular Plant Breeding and Utilization of Genetic Resources sponsored by Science and Technology Agency (STA) and Japan International Science and Technology Exchange Center (JISTEC) & 8th MAFF International Workshop on Genetic Resources sponsored by Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) November 28 - December 1, 2000 Tsukuba, Japan Printed in Japan by Sato Printing Co., Ltd , Tsukuba Published by National Institute of Agrobiological Resources, Tsukuba, Japan ISBN 4-93151 1-04-X November 28, 2000 PREFACE Crop improvement using conventional varieties or wild species as genetic resources has successfully brought increases to agricultural production worldwide. To respond to the demand for increased agricultural production research efforts have focused on development of efficient breeding methods and finding new gene sources in conserved genetic resources. Recent rapid developments in biotechnology are changing both breeding methods and the concept of genetic resources. All the functional genes of organisms are potential genetic resources for crop improvement by direct gene introduction. The developments in genome technology and the accumulation of genome information are so rapid that the complete genome sequences of 150 organisms - microorganisms, higher plants, animals and manwill have been elucidated within two years. Conservation and use of biodiversity are fundamental to sustaining agriculture and the environment. The application of genome technology to the analysis and use of biodiversity is most useful for the development of new breeding methods and identifying new gene sources for crop breeding.

  • Improving Salinity Tolerance of Plants Through Conventional Breeding and Genetic Engineering: an Analytical Comparison
    Biotechnology Advances 27 (2009) 744–752 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Biotechnology Advances journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/biotechadv Research review paper Improving salinity tolerance of plants through conventional breeding and genetic engineering: An analytical comparison Muhammad Ashraf ⁎, Nudrat Aisha Akram Department of Botany, University of Agriculture, Faiasalabad 38040, Pakistan article info abstract Article history: The last century has witnessed a substantial improvement in yield potential, quality and disease resistance in Received 18 February 2009 crops. This was indeed the outcome of conventional breeding, which was achieved with little or no Received in revised form 26 May 2009 knowledge of underlying physiological and biochemical phenomena related to a trait. Also the resources Accepted 26 May 2009 utilized on programs involving conventional breeding were not of great magnitude. Plant breeders have also Available online 10 June 2009 been successful during the last century in producing a few salt-tolerant cultivars/lines of some potential crops through conventional breeding, but this again has utilized modest resources. However, this approach Keywords: fi Genetic engineering seems now inef cient due to a number of reasons, and alternatively, genetic engineering for improving crop Salt tolerance salt tolerance is being actively followed these days by the plant scientists, world-over. A large number of Conventional breeding transgenic lines with enhanced salt tolerance of different crops can be deciphered from the literature but up Ion homeostasis to now only a very few field-tested cultivars/lines are known despite the fact that considerable resources Osmoprotectants have been expended on the sophisticated protocols employed for generating such transgenics.
