Gloeocapsopsis AAB1, an extremely desiccation-tolerant cyanobacterium isolated from the Atacama Desert
Armando Azua-Bustos,Jorge Zúñiga,Cristián Arenas-Fajardo,Marcelo Orellana,Loreto Salas,Vicuña Rafael +5 more
TL;DR: Physiological, morphological and molecular responses by isolate AAB1 show that this strain is extremely tolerant to desiccation, and the results indicate that the isolate biosynthesizes sucrose and trehalose in response to this stressful condition.

Characterization of some bread wheat genotypes using molecular markers for drought tolerance
TL;DR: In this paper, the first stage of drought tolerant variety breeding occurs on the molecular and biochemical characterization and classification of wheat genotypes, and the aim of the study is characterization of widely grown bread wheat cultivars and breeding lines for drought tolerance so as to be adapted to different regions in Turkey.

Elise Albert,Justine Gricourt,Nadia Bertin,Julien Bonnefoi,Stéphanie Pateyron,Jean-Philippe Tamby,Frédérique Bitton,Mathilde Causse +7 more
TL;DR: Variation in gene expression in leaves of parental accessions revealed 2259 differentially expressed genes, among which candidate genes presenting sequence polymorphisms were identified under two main interactive QTLs.

α-Tocopherol Foliar Spray and Translocation Mediates Growth, Photosynthetic Pigments, Nutrient Uptake, and Oxidative Defense in Maize (Zea mays L.) under Drought Stress
Qasim Ali,Muhammad Tariq Javed,Muhammad Zulqurnain Haider,Noman Habib,Muhammad Rizwan,Rashida Perveen,Shafaqat Ali,Mohammed Nasser Alyemeni,Hamed A. El-Serehy,Fahad A. Al-Misned +9 more
TL;DR: Foliary-applied α-tocopherol improved the growth of both maize cultivars, associated with improvements in photosynthetic pigment, water relations, antioxidative mechanism, and better nutrient acquisition in root and shoot along with tocopherol contents and a decrease in lipid peroxidation.

Recent Progress in Germplasm Evaluation and Gene Mapping to Enable Breeding of Drought-Tolerant Wheat.
TL;DR: The results of this review show that larger germplasm collections have been sources of useful genes for drought tolerance in wheat and demonstrates that QTLs for droughtolerance in wheat are associated with diverse physio-morphological traits, at different growth stages.

Human biochemical genetics
TL;DR: For the next few weeks the course is going to be exploring a field that’s actually older than classical population genetics, although the approach it’ll be taking to it involves the use of population genetic machinery.

Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance
Muhammad Ashraf,Majid R. Foolad +1 more
TL;DR: In this review article, numerous examples of successful application of these compounds to improve plant stress tolerance are presented and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of exogenously applied GB and proline is expected to aid their effective utilization in crop production in stress environments.

Two transcription factors, DREB1 and DREB2, with an EREBP/AP2 DNA binding domain separate two cellular signal transduction pathways in drought- and low-temperature-responsive gene expression, respectively, in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: Overexpression of the DREB1A cDNA in transgenic Arabidopsis plants not only induced strong expression of the target genes under unstressed conditions but also caused dwarfed phenotypes in the transgenic plants, and revealed freezing and dehydration tolerance.
Drought and Salt Tolerance in Plants
TL;DR: The responses of plants to salt and water stress are described, the regulatory circuits which allow plants to cope with stress are presented, and how the present knowledge can be applied to obtain tolerant plants is discussed.
