Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource A normalized library representing root and leaf genes expressed during dehydration and rehydration was generated.
- Observation Combined methods identified 55 dehydration-inducible cDNAs.
- Method / resource Northern blot analysis verified the expression status of all 14 tested dehydration-upregulated genes.
- Observation Dehydration-upregulated cDNAs included homologs encoding metallothioneins, galactinol synthases, and an aldose reductase.
- Observation Many identified genes encoded LEAs, dehydrins, and desiccation-related proteins.
- Observation Previously unimplicated dehydration-upregulated genes included a putative chloroplast RNA-binding protein and a protein with SNF2/helicase domains.
- Observation Dehydration expression patterns differed between X. humilis and Arabidopsis and rice.
