Identification of Small RNAs During High Light Acclimation in Arabidopsis thaliana Open
The biological significance of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has been firmly established to be important for the regulation of genes involved in stress acclimation. Light plays an important role for the growth of plants providing the energy for…
The BAG2 and BAG6 Genes Are Involved in Multiple Abiotic Stress Tolerances in Arabidopsis Thaliana Open
The BAG proteins are a family of multi-functional co-chaperones. In plants, BAG proteins were found to play roles both in abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. However, the function of Arabidopsis BAG2 remains largely unknown, whereas BAG6 …
The BAG2 and BAG6 Genes are Involved in Multiple Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Arabidopsis Thaliana Open
Background: The BAG (Bcl-2 associated athanogene) family is a multi-functional group of proteins that perform functions ranges from apoptosis to environmental stress tolerance. The BAG proteins are found in yeast, plants and animals. In pl…
