Light contributes to salt resistance through GAI protein regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana.

The role of DELLAs in response to light intensity under salt stress is largely unknown. Therefore, the effect of three light intensities-low (35), medium (60), and high (155) μmol m s on Arabidopsis plants growth under saline condition (150 mM NaCl) was evaluated. High light intensity exhibited significant growth in the number of lateral roots related to the low light.

Isolation and expression profiling of GhNAC transcription factor genes in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) during leaf senescence and in response to stresses.

NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) is a plant-specific transcription factor family with diverse roles in plant development and stress regulation. In this report, stress-responsive NAC genes (GhNAC8-GhNAC17) isolated from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) were characterised in the context of leaf senescence and stress tolerance.

Authentication of Angelica anomala Avé-Lall cultivars through DNA barcodes.

Angelica anomala Avé-Lall (Chuanbaizhi in Chinese) is an important medicinal plant which can be used in traditional Chinese medicines; however, there are no authentic and universal methods to differentiate this Sichuan famous-region drug of A. anomala from a large number of non-famous-region and false drugs. It has been demonstrated that DNA barcoding is a molecular diagnostic method for species identification, which uses a single standardized DNA fragment.
