Compatible osmolytes are potent osmoprotectants that play a role in counteracting the effects
of osmotic stress. Proline (Pro) is one of the most common compatible osmolytes in water-…

… Under sa|t- and heatvstress conditions, we detected scant accumulation of AtP5CR mFlNAs
24 h after the initiation of each stress. However, the level of expression of AtP5CR detected …

… The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA clone ERD5 (insert 2; Kiyosue et al., 1994a) includes
a putative coding region and 5'and 3' noncodtng regions. The amino acid sequence of the …

Higher plant reproduction is unique because two cells are fertilized in the haploid female
gametophyte. Egg and sperm nuclei fuse to form the embryo. A second sperm nucleus fuses …

A third member of the ZTL gene family was identified in the Arabidopsis genome and was
named LKP2 (for LOV kelch protein2). A cDNA was isolated corresponding to this gene, and …

The intracellular distribution of organelles is a crucial aspect of effective cell function.
Chloroplasts change their intracellular positions to optimize photosynthetic activity in response to …

… Fragments of desired length were recovered by agarose gel electrophoresis and cloned
into the pGEM-T easy plasmid vector (Promega), from which at least four independent clones …

A blue light (BL) receptor was discovered in stramenopile algae Vaucheria frigida (Xanthophyceae)
and Fucus distichus (Phaeophyceae). Two homologs were identified in Vaucheria; …

… We also examined the induction of GUS activity in T 2 transformants at 24 h after the initiation
of dehydration, incubation with high-salt or water, treatment of ABA, ethephon, cold stress (…
