Isolation and expression analysis of low temperature-induced genes in white poplar (Populus alba)

Construction of a cDNA library of the Chinese wild Vitis amurensis under cold stress and analysis of potential hardiness-related expressed sequence tags

“…Ubiquitin, involved in reactions responsive to drought stress, cold stress, salt stress and heavy metal ion stress, can degrade impaired protein under stress through the ubiquitin pathway to guarantee normal metabolism. Three E3 ubiquitin ligase-encoding genes in poplars under 4°C conditions were identified by Maestrini et al (2009), who also found that the expression level of genes encoding E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in ubiquitination, E2 ubiquitin-binding enzyme, ubiquitin COOH-terminal hydrolase, and polyubiquitination protein increased under cold stress. Nogueira et al (2003) proved that five encoding ESTs of polyubiquitination protein in sugarcane were induced to express under cold stress.…”

“…Actually, the accumulation of saccharides in cells can protect plants to some extent, by improving the cell's water retention ability or producing some substances and energy to protect essential cell components, including genetic material and biomembranes. It has been well-documented that under cold stress, the expression levels of many energy-producing proteins tend to increase (Maestrini et al, 2009), thus guaranteeing normal physiological and biochemical processes by providing enough energy for hardiness.…”

“…Therefore, it is necessary to clone the genomes of plant into cDNA libraries. By differential screening of cDNA libraries, several genes related to low temperature have been identified and characterized in various plant species, such as blueberry (Dhanaraj et al, 2004), Hevea brasiliensis (Cheng et al, 2008), and aspen (Maestrini et al, 2009). In grape, da Silva et al (2005) constructed several cDNA libraries with different varieties and tissues of European wine-making grapes to investigate gene expression profiles in response to various forms of stress.…”

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of Gossypium RING-H2 finger E3 ligase genes revealed their roles in fiber development, and phytohormone and abiotic stress responses

“…Moreover, long terminal repeat elements responded to low temperatures (Maestrini et al 2009), and CGTCA and TCA elements were involved in gene expression after SA and methyl jasmonate stimuli, respectively (Wen et al 2014). Several other cis-elements, including ethylene responsive elements, TATC elements, and P-boxes were also detected.…”

Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of bZIP Family and their Expression in Response to Multiple Abiotic Stresses in Malus domestica

“…Important cis-acting elements related stress-response including ABA-response element (ABRE), dehydration-response element (DRE), low-temperature responsive element (LTRE) were widely existed in the promoters of bZIP genes as shown in Table 2. These elements have been demonstrated to bind the relative proteins to modulate stress response in other plants [33][34][35][36]. Besides, some elements found in the promoters of M.bZIPs function for binding of important transcription factors, which factors were closely related to various abiotic stresses such as transcription factor MYB and MYC (Table 2).…”
