Expression of Pyrococcus furiosus Superoxide Reductase in Arabidopsis Enhances Heat Tolerance
PLANT PHYSIOLOGY, 151(2), 893–904.
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological; Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis / metabolism; Arabidopsis Proteins / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins / metabolism; Ascorbate Peroxidases; Chlorophyll / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Germination; Heat-Shock Response; Hot Temperature; Hydrogen Peroxide / metabolism; Immunoprecipitation; Oxidoreductases / genetics; Oxidoreductases / metabolism; Peroxidases / metabolism; Plant Extracts / metabolism; Plant Leaves / metabolism; Plant Roots / metabolism; Plants, Genetically Modified; Pyrococcus furiosus / enzymology; RNA, Messenger / genetics; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Seedlings / enzymology; Seeds / metabolism
TL;DR:
It is shown that P. furiosus SOR can be produced as a functional enzyme in planta and that plants producing SOR have enhanced tolerance to heat, light, and chemically induced ROS.
