Overexpression of antioxidant genes in transgenic tomato tolerant against multiple stresses

Creator:

Wang, Yueju

Abstract:

The effect of increased manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (cAPX) on various abiotic stresses was studied using transgenic tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants. Transformants were selected in vitro based on kanamycin resistance, confirmed by PCR and northern blot analyses. Northern blots showed an enhanced gene expression of Mn-SOD...

Age-related loss of Nrf2, a novel mechanism for the potential attenuation of xenobiotic detoxification capacity

Creator:

Smith, Eric Jonathan

Abstract:

Nuclear Factor, Erythroid Derived 2, Like 2 (NFE2L2 or Nrf2) is the primary transcription factor in cellular defense against oxidative and xenobiotic stresses in higher eukaryotes. This basic leucine zipper transcription factor regulates over 200 antioxidant, detoxification, and lipid metabolizing genes by binding to the Antioxidant Response Element (ARE; a...
