Enhanced salt tolerance in tomato plants constitutively expressing heat-shock protein in the endoplasmic reticulum

C. Fu, Liu, X. X., Yang, W. W., Zhao, C. M., Liu, J., Fu, C., Liu, X. X., Yang, W. W., Zhao, C. M., and Liu, J., “Enhanced salt tolerance in tomato plants constitutively expressing heat-shock protein in the endoplasmic reticulum”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

The accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes ER stress and activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling pathway. The UPR signaling pathway is associated with plant responses to adverse environmental conditions. Thus, changes in the UPR signaling pathway might affect plant abiotic tolerance. Here, the role of ER small heat-shock protein (ER-sHSP) in improving plant resistance to salt stress was explored.

Mechanisms of cytotoxicity induced by the anesthetic isoflurane: the role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors

W. - H. Zhai, Zhao, J., Huo, S. - P., Chen, X. - G., Li, Y. - D., Zhang, Z. - L., Yu, L. - L., Song, S., and Wang, Q. - J., “Mechanisms of cytotoxicity induced by the anesthetic isoflurane: the role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors”, vol. 14, pp. 6929-6942, 2015.

Isoflurane can induce widespread cytotoxicity. We hypothesized that isoflurane induces apoptosis partly by causing excessive calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via direct activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R). Rat pheochromocytoma cells cultured for seven days with nerve growth factor were divided into four groups: control group (C), IP3R antagonist group (X), isoflurane group (I) and isoflurane + IP3R antagonist group (I+X). Groups I and I+X were treated with 1 MAC isoflurane for 12 h.

Phosphate-induced-1 gene from Eucalyptus (EgPHI-1) enhances osmotic stress tolerance in transgenic tobacco

A. O. Sousa, Assis, E. T. C. M., Pirovani, C. P., Alvim, F. C., and Costa, M. G. C., “Phosphate-induced-1 gene from Eucalyptus (EgPHI-1) enhances osmotic stress tolerance in transgenic tobacco”, vol. 13, pp. 1579-1588, 2014.

Environmental stresses such as drought, freezing, and high salinity induce osmotic stress in plant cells. The plant response to osmotic stress involves a number of physiological and developmental changes, which are made possible, in part, by the modulation of the expression of specific genes.
