Abstract excerpt
Overproduction of animal cell death suppressors Bcl-xL and Ced-9 conferred enhanced resistance to UV-B and paraquat treatment in tobacco plants [Mitsuhara et al. (1999) CURR: Biol. 9: 775]. We report here that the progeny could germinate in 0.2 M NaCl or at 10 degrees C under light, while control plants could not. Suspension-cultured Bcl cells resisted NaCl treatment maintaining an active mitochondrial membrane...
