e0“VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing)-treated plants generated for PAP6-like were subjected to freezing stress, these plants had more serious droop and wilt, an increased rate of relative electrolyte leakage, reduced relative water content (RWC) and decreased tocopherol levels when compared with viral control plants.”

Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Proteomics identified 20 common spots representing 16 unique proteins associated with cold response.
- Observation Fourteen spots had higher abundance in cold-sensitive UC1110 and descendants than in tolerant PI 610750 and descendants.
- Observation Six protein spots showed reduced abundance.
- Observation The identified spots represented stress and defense, carbohydrate, protein, nitrogen and energy metabolism, and photosynthesis.
- Observation Eleven genes had transcription patterns consistent with their protein expression patterns.
- Observation PAP6-like showed high sequence similarity with PAP6.
- Association Cold stress increased PAP6-like expression in wheat leaves.
- Association Salt stress increased PAP6-like expression in wheat leaves.
- Intervention effect PAP6-like silencing caused more severe droop and wilt under freezing stress than viral controls.
- Intervention effect PAP6-like silencing increased relative electrolyte leakage under freezing stress.
- Intervention effect PAP6-like silencing decreased tocopherol levels under freezing stress.
- Intervention effect Silencing the other two unknown proteins showed no significant freezing phenotype differences.
- Mechanism PAP6-like may contribute to cold tolerance in wheat.
