Short Communication Cloning and characterization of up-regulated HbSINA4 gene induced by drought stress in Tibetan hulless barley

Research Article Cloning and functional characterization of the HbSYR1 gene encoding a syntaxin-related protein in Tibetan hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum HK. f.).

“…These findings indicated that AtVAMP71/AtVAMP7C in v-SNAREs (vesicle SNAREs) are not only able to play protective roles during drought stress, but also contribute to ABA-mediated stomatal closures (Leshem et al, 2010). Yuan et al (2015) cloned and characterized the HbSINA4 gene, and found it to be upregulated in Tibetan hulless barley during drought stress. However, there is still little information regarding the functions of the HbSYR1 gene.…”

Time-Course Comparative Metabolite Profiling under Osmotic Stress in Tolerant and Sensitive Tibetan Hulless Barley

“…In hulless barley, integrative functional genomics approach was employed to elucidate the molecular basis of drought tolerance. The genes HbSINA4 and HbSYR1 were cloned and functionally validated as important genes for drought tolerance and water retention [9, 10]. Based on transcriptome analysis, 853 differentially expressed genes were detected as involved in drought response and categorized into nine clusters enriched in various biological pathways in a drought tolerant hulless barley genotype [11].…”

NJ cluster analysis of the SnRK2, PYR/PYL/RCAR, and ABF genes in Tibetan hulless barley

“…The Tibetan hulless barley is adapted to the highly stressful conditions of the Tibetan Plateau (Zeng et al, 2015). Yuan et al (2015) suggested that an up-regulation of the HbSINA4 gene was induced by drought stress in the Tibetan hulless barley cultivar, Himalaya 10. The ABA signal transduction pathway was found to be significantly different during the drought response process of Himalaya 10 (Zeng et al, 2016).…”
