Changes in dehydrin expression associated with cold, ABA and PEG treatments in blueberry cell cultures

Light induces expression of a dehydrin-encoding gene during seedling de-etiolation in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

“…The occurrence of endogenous levels of dehydrin mRNAs in the absence of the corresponding protein has been already reported by Robertson and Chandler (1992) in roots of Pisum sativum, in which the dehydrin gene is expressed constitutively but dehydrins are not found. Increase of dehydrin mRNAs without subsequent increase of dehydrin translation was observed in cell cultures of blueberry subjected to cold stress, suggesting that posttranscriptional mechanisms are involved in regulation of dehydrin expression (Parmentier-Line et al, 2002).…”

The role of dehydrins in plant response to cold

“…Gulfcoast, two dehydrins of 65 and 30 kD were detected on mRNA and protein levels by Parmentier-Line et al (2002) in control plants. During a two-week treatment at 4 °C, the level of 65 kD dehydrin did not change significantly.…”

The role of abscisic acid in plant tissue culture: a review of recent progress

“…Endogenous ABA levels significantly increase in response to environmental stresses, and they regulate some aspects of physiological responses to a variety of environmental stresses (Mongrand et al 2003;Schwartz et al 2003;Xiong and Zhu 2003;Tuteja 2007). Many authors also report that both the adaptation and survival of plant cells and tissues to various environmental stresses may be enhanced by exogenous ABA (Chen and Gusta 1983;LaRosa et al 1985LaRosa et al , 1987Reaney and Gusta 1987;Eberhardt and Wegmann 1989;Bartels et al 1990;Churchill et al 1992;Lee et al 1992;Arora and Wisniewski 1995;Rajashekar and Lafta 1996;Mills et al 2001;Parmentier-Line et al 2002;Ding et al 2010). …”
