generation of transgenic maize constitutively overexpressing or underexpressing gene ZmPIS, encoding PIS from maize, under the control of a maize ubiquitin promoter. Lipid profiling analysis shows that, under drought stress conditions, the overexpression of ZmPIS in maize results in significantly elevated levels of most phospholipids and galactolipids in leaves compared with those in wild-type plants, analysis of expression pattern of genes involved in the phospholipid metabolism pathway and drought response, phenotype, overview. Sense transgenic plants are more tolerant to drought stress at the pre-flowering stage and retain more solutes and water under drought stress conditions |
