摘要
XVSAP1, a gene isolated from a dehydrated Xerophyta viscosa cDNA library, was transformed into Arabidopsis thaliana by Ti plasmid-mediated transformation under the control of a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, a nos terminator and bar gene selection. Expression of XVSAP1 in Arabidopsis led to constitutive accumulation of the corresponding protein in the leaves. Transgenic Arabidopsis grown in tissue culture maintained higher growth rates during osmotic, high-salinity and high temperature stress, respectively. Non-transgenic plants had shorter roots, leaf expansion was inhibited and leaves were more chlorotic than those of the transgenic plants. This study demonstrates that XVSAP1 has a significant impact on dehydration, salinity and high-temperature stress tolerance in Arabidopsis. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
