1. Physiological and molecular characterization of drought tolerance and its relation with the root system in Coffea species / Caracterização fisiologica e molecular da tolerancia a seca e sua relação com o sistema radicular em especies de Coffea
Plantas das cultivares Catuaí Vermelho e Mundo Novo de Coffea arabica L. e da cultivar Apoatã de C. canephora Pierre ex Froehner, e plantas de Mundo Novo enxertadas sobre Apoatã foram avaliadas quanto a possíveis estratégias utilizadas para suportar a baixa disponibilidade de água no solo. Em paralelo, foi conduzido um ensaio com suspensões celulares

2. An osmotic stress protein of cyanobacteria is immunologically related to plant dehydrins.
Dehydrins are a family of desiccation proteins that were identified originally in plants (T.J. Close, A.A. Kortt, P.M. Chandler [1989] Plant Mol Biol 13: 95-108; G. Galau, T.J. Close [1992] Plant Physiol 98: 1523-1525). Dehydrins are characterized by the consensus amino acid sequence domain EKKGIMDKIKEKLPG found at or near the carboxy terminus; the core of t

3. Water Content, Raffinose, and Dehydrins in the Induction of Desiccation Tolerance in Immature Wheat Embryos
Desiccation tolerance is initiated in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) embryos in planta at 22 to 24 d after anthesis, at the time that the embryo water content has decreased from about 73% fresh weight (2.7 g water/g dry weight) to about 65% fresh weight (1.8 g water/g dry weight). To determine if desiccation tolerance is fully induced by the loss of a relative

4. Purification and Partial Characterization of a Dehydrin Involved in Chilling Tolerance during Seedling Emergence of Cowpea1
Dehydrins are a family of proteins (LEA [late-embryogenesis abundant] D11) commonly induced by environmental stresses associated with low temperature or dehydration and during seed maturation drying. Our previous genetic studies suggested an association of an approximately 35-kD protein (by immunological evidence a dehydrin) with chilling tolerance dur

5. The Calcium-Binding Activity of a Vacuole-Associated, Dehydrin-Like Protein Is Regulated by Phosphorylation1
A vacuole membrane-associated calcium-binding protein with an apparent mass of 45 kD was purified from celery (Apium graveolens). This protein, VCaB45, is enriched in highly vacuolate tissues and is located within the lumen of vacuoles. Antigenically related proteins are present in many dicotyledonous plants. VCaB45 contains significant amino acid identity w

6. Identification of dehydrin-like proteins responsive to chilling in floral buds of blueberry (Vaccinium, section Cyanococcus).
The level of three major polypeptides of 65, 60, and 14 kD increased in response to chilling unit accumulation in floral buds of a woody perennial, blueberry (Vaccinium, section Cynaococcus). The level of the polypeptides increased most dramatically within 300 h of chilling and decreased to the prechilling level with the initiation of budbreak. Cold-hardines

7. The binding of Maize DHN1 to Lipid Vesicles. Gain of Structure and Lipid Specificity1
Dehydrins (DHNs; late embryogenesis abundant D-11) are a family of plant proteins induced in response to abiotic stresses such as drought, low temperature, and salinity or during the late stages of embryogenesis. Spectral and thermal properties of these proteins in purified form suggest that they are “intrinsically unstructured.” However, DHNs contain at

8. Molecular and physiological responses to abscisic acid and salts in roots of salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant Indica rice varieties.
The Indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties Pokkali and Nona Bokra are well-known salt tolerance donors in classical breeding. In an attempt to understand the molecular basis of their tolerance, physiological and gene expression studies were initiated. The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) on total proteins in roots from 12-d-old seedlings of Pokkali, Nona Bokra

9. Independent Activation of Cold Acclimation by Low Temperature and Short Photoperiod in Hybrid Aspen1
Temperate zone woody plants cold acclimate in response to both short daylength (SD) and low temperature (LT). We were able to show that these two environmental cues induce cold acclimation independently by comparing the wild type (WT) and the transgenic hybrid aspen (Populus tremula × Populus tremuloides Michx.) line 22 overexpressing the oat (Avena sativa)

10. Cold acclimation in genetically related (sibling) deciduous and evergreen peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch). II. A 60-kilodalton bark protein in cold-acclimated tissues of peach is heat stable and related to the dehydrin family of proteins.
In several plant species, certain cold-regulated proteins share unique properties. These proteins are (a) heat stable and (b) hydrophilic and are related to the Group 2 late embryogenesis abundant or dehydrin family of proteins. Our previous work with sibling deciduous and evergreen peach genotypes demonstrated a correlation between the level of accumulation

11. Cold-Specific Induction of a Dehydrin Gene Family Member in Barley.
An interval on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) chromosome 7 accounting for significant quantitative trait locus effects for winter hardiness were detected in a winter (Dicktoo) x spring (Morex) barley population (P.M. Hayes, T. Blake, T.H.H. Chen, S. Tragoonrung, F. Chen, A. Pan, and B. Liu [1993] Genome 36: 66-71). Two members of the barley dehydrin gene family

12. Allelic variation of a dehydrin gene cosegregates with chilling tolerance during seedling emergence
Dehydrins (DHNs, LEA D-11) are plant proteins present during environmental stresses associated with dehydration or low temperatures and during seed maturation. Functions of DHNs have not yet been defined. Earlier, we hypothesized that a ≈35-kDa DHN and membrane properties that reduce electrolyte leakage from seeds confer chilling tolerance during seedling
