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...
