Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation GaMYB85 had a SANT domain and conserved R2R3 repeat.
- Observation GaMYB85 protein had 257 amino acids.
- Observation GaMYB85 protein molecular weight was 24.91 kD.
- Observation GaMYB85 protein isoelectric point was 5.58.
- Intervention effect GaMYB85 plants germinated at higher rates under mannitol and salt stress than wild type.
- Intervention effect GaMYB85 plants had higher drought avoidance than wild type during water deprivation.
- Intervention effect GaMYB85 plants had higher free proline and chlorophyll levels.
- Intervention effect GaMYB85 plants had lower water loss and higher relative water content.
- Intervention effect GaMYB85 germination was more sensitive to ABA.
- Intervention effect GaMYB85 plants showed strong ABA inhibition of primary root elongation.
- Intervention effect Under ABA, GaMYB85 plants had lower stomatal density than wild type.
- Intervention effect Under ABA, GaMYB85 plants had greater stomatal size.
- Intervention effect Under ABA, GaMYB85 plants had lower stomatal opening rates.
- Intervention effect GaMYB85 expression enhanced transcription of five stress marker genes.
- Mechanism Authors concluded GaMYB85 confers drought, salt and freezing tolerance, probably through ABA signaling.
