Peer Review #2 of "Identification of two CiGADs from Caragana intermedia and their transcriptional responses to abiotic stresses and exogenous abscisic acid (v0.2)"
Abstract:Background. Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), as a key enzyme in the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) shunt, catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-glutamate to form GABA. This pathway has attracted much interest because of its roles in carbon and nitrogen metabolism, stress responses, and signaling in higher plants. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize genes encoding GADs from Caragana intermedia, an important nitrogen-fixing leguminous shrub. Methods. Two full-length cDNAs encoding GADs (designated as Ci… Show more
