Plant Growth and Agrobacterium-mediated Floral-dip Transformation of the Extremophyte <em>Schrenkiella parvula</em>

Mechanisms of Plant Responses and Adaptation to Soil Salinity

“…More than 15 years ago, two close relatives of Arabidopsis from the genus of Thellungiella were proposed as model halophytes for molecular genetics studies, because of their ease of genetic transformation, short life cycle, and relatively small genome. 361 , 362 One of them is Schrenkiella parvula (formerly known as Eutrema parvulum and before that as Thellungiella parvula ), and the other one is Eutrema salsugineum (formerly known as T. salsuginea ). Consistent with the notion that the same molecular machinery for salt tolerance operates in both glycophytes and halophytes, loss-of-function mutants of the SOS1 homolog in E. salsugineum lost halophytism.…”

Halophytism: What Have We Learnt From Arabidopsis thaliana Relative Model Systems?

“…Since that pioneering meeting, over 125 articles have been published on E. salsugineum and the related (and even more salt-tolerant [Orsini et al, 2010]) Schrenkiella parvula (formally Thellungiella parvula and Eutrema parvulum). Furthermore, various genetic resources have been generated, including chromosome-level genome assemblies, natural accession collections, full-length cDNA and EST collections, transformation protocols, a plant transformation-competent large-insert DNA library, Arabidopsis lines expressing an E. salsugineum cDNA library, nuclear and organelle genome sequences, microRNA sequences, cDNA microarrays, RNA sequencing data sets (Wang et al, 2004(Wang et al, , 2018a(Wang et al, , 2018bWong et al, 2005;Du et al, 2008;Taji et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2008Zhang et al, , 2013Amtmann, 2009;Dassanayake et al, 2011a;Oh et al, 2012;Wu et al, 2012;Bartels and Dinakar, 2013;Champigny et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2013;Batelli et al, 2014;Fukami-Kobayashi et al, 2014;Guo et al, 2016;He et al, 2016;Yin et al, 2018), and dedicated Web resources (http:// extremeplants.org/). Given their increasing importance as model systems (Box 1), E. salsugineum and S. parvula were ranked by the journal Cell as one of the next top models (Zhu et al, 2015).…”

Achievements in Genetic Engineering of Amaranthus L. Representatives

“…This method was first successfully applied to Arabidopsis thaliana transformation (Clough & Bent, 1998;Bent, 2006;Harrison et al, 2006;Zhang et al, 2006). In addition, successfully transformed by this method were Brassica rapa via (Hu et al, 2019), Setaria (Saha & Blumwald, 2016;Sood & Prasad, 2017;Van Eck, 2018;Van Eck & Swartwood, 2015), rice (Ratanasut et al, 2017), Schrenkiella parvula (Wang et al, 2019), sugarcane (Mayavan et al, 2015), tomato (Sharada et al, 2017), Eustoma grandiflorum (Fang et al, 2018). The researchers from the Umaiyal Munusamy group, as well as Taipova and Kuluyev, assured that they had obtained viable transgenic seeds.…”
