Enhancement of cold tolerance in tomato plants by genetic engineering of glycinebetaine biosynthesis

Creator:

Park, Eung-Jun

Abstract:

Tomato [Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.] plants are chilling sensitive and do not naturally accumulate glycinebetaine (GB), a metabolite that functions as a stress protectant in plants. While GB can increase tolerance of tomato plants to salt and drought stresses, its effect on chilling tolerance has not been examined. To evaluate whether...

Ectopic overexpression of Arabidopsis CBF genes enhances freezing tolerance of two potato species

Creator:

Pino, María-Teresa

Abstract:

Solanum species differ in their degree of frost tolerance and cold acclimation capacity. Cultivated potato species of Solanum tuberosum L. are frost-sensitive, incapable of cold acclimation, and have a maximum freezing tolerance of –3°C. Solanum commersonii Dun is frost-tolerant and can survive to –5ºC pre-acclimation and –10ºC post-acclimation. Breeding attempts...
