Under a progressive water stress, photosyntheticrate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance of the sense and antisense plantsreduced, and those of the control reduced much more. Photosynthetic rate, transpirationrate and stomatal conductance of all plants tested increased significantly 24 hourslater after recoveried water supply, and those of the sense and antisense plants werehigher than control. These indicated that overexpression of a dehydrin gene in tobaccomay improve tolerance to water stress for plants, however, antisense BcDh2 gene intransgenic plant did not influence physiological conditions. The results of germinationexperiment of the transgenic seeds showed that on MS medium with different concentrationPEG (8000), sense seed could more endure drought than control, while antisense seed wassensitive to drought. The results suggested that the overexpression of a dehydrin genein tobacco might improve the tolerance to water stress for plants.展开更多

The tran-scriptional analysis showed that this mite complete gene structure in genomic sequence could be spliced at prediction site. Allergenicity assay with immunological sera indicated that the extracts from the transgenic tobacco gave obvious positive IgE binding reaction with specific serum pool. This work would be of potential use in allergenicity assessment of genetically modified food.展开更多
