General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function compared to wild-type, transgenic Nicotiana tabacum plants overexpressing rice monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase (MGD) gene and wild-type tobacco plants exposed to AlCl3 exhibit rapid regrowth of roots after removal of Al and less damage to membrane integrity and lipid peroxidation under Al stress, while the Al accumulation shows no difference between wild-type and transgenic plants. Al treatment dramatically decreases the content of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol and the ratio of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol to digalactosyldiacylglycerol in wild-type plants, while it is unchanged in transgenic plants. The stable monogalactosyldiacylglycerol level and the ratio of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol/digalactosyldiacylglycerol contribute to maintain the membrane stability and permeability. Al causes a significant increase in phospholipids in wild-type plants, resulting in a high proportion of phospholipids and low proportion of galactolipids, but these proportions are unaffected in transgenic plants Oryza sativa Indica Group
