Animal anti-apoptotic genes ameliorate the loss of turgor in water-stressed transgenic tobacco

2003-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Nicotiana tabacum L. 'Glurk' plants were transformed with antiapoptotic animal genes [chicken Bcl-xl; nematode CED-9; chicken Bcl-xl(GA) a mutant of Bcl-xl; and a 3' non-coding region of human Bcl-2, referred to as 161-1]. Our objectives were to determine whether plant transformation with anti-apoptotic genes ameliorates drought tolerance in tobacco plants by subjecting the plants to a dry-down period. The non-tra...
