Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
gene TsGOLS2, overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana. The contents of galactinol, raffinose, and 2-oxoglutaric acid are significantly increased in transgenic plants compared to wild-type plants, and salt-stressed transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants exhibits higher germination rate, photosynthesis ability, and seedling growth. After being treated with osmotic stress by high concentration of sorbitol, transgenic plants retain high germination rates and grow well during early development Eutrema salsugineum

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function galactinol synthase is a key enzyme in the synthesis of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), catalyzes the condensation of UDP-galactose with myo-inositol to produce galactinol as the sole donor for the synthesis of RFOs. RFOs have been implicated in mitigating effects of environmental stresses on plants. Overexpression of TsGOLS2 in Arabidopsis thaliana improved the tolerance of transgenic plants to high salinity and osmotic stress Eutrema salsugineum
