Root-targeted biotechnology to mediate hormonal signalling and improve crop stress tolerance

“…While this expression system could be used to ameliorate plant stress tolerance when rootzone hypoxia is unavoidable, it is unlikely to have much impact in cropping systems with good soil aeration. Recently, a novel gene isolated from tomato (SIREO) displayed high expression in roots but very low expression in aerial plant organs, suggesting it could be useful for root targeted gene expression since this root-specificity was stable throughout plant development and maintained under a range of environmental conditions (Jones et al 2008). Alternatively the partial Pinus strobus 796 bp promoter of the PsPR10 gene also specifically drives GUS expression in tobacco roots, and positively responds to osmotic stresses and hormonal treatments, thus constituting an interesting inducible rootspecific promoter (Xu et al 2010).…”

Site-directed mutagenesis of the Arabidopsis heterotrimeric G protein β subunit suggests divergent mechanisms of effector activation between plant and animal G proteins

“…This could be due to positional eVects. It has long been known that chromatin state, Xanking sequences, methylation and transgene orientation at the insertion site can result in signiWcant diVerences in expression levels between multiple transgenic lines in animals (Clark et al 1994;Feng et al 2001;Wang et al 2010) and plants (Holtorf et al 1995;Guerineau et al 2003;Petsch et al 2005;Jones et al 2008;Kong et al 2008) even when transformed with identical genetic constructs. Furthermore, it is possible that there are additional regulatory elements upstream of the AGB1 promoter region used in this study (1 kb).…”

Characterization of the Scutellaria barbata glycosyltransferase gene and its promoter

“…3) (Park et al 2004). The expression pattern of the SbUGT promoter is different from that of the root-specific promoter of a Solanum lycopersicum 2-ODD (SlREO) gene which was unaffected by dehydration or wounding stress but was somewhat suppressed by exposure to NaCl, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid (Jones et al 2008). Detailed analyses of the regulatory motifs and transcription factors of the SbUGT promoter Data are shown as mean ± SD (n = 5) Fig.…”
