Abstract:: ... NAD(H) kinase (NADK) is a key enzyme for maintaining the cellular NAD(H)/NADP(H) balance and for NADP(H)-based metabolic pathways. We identified four NADK homologs, NADK1–4, from three major cereal crops, wheat, rice and maize, based on their phylogenetic relationships and gene structures. Four of the 11 NADK genes isolated from the wheat genome (TaNADK1–4) were cloned. Subcellular localization an ...

Abstract:: ... Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are identified as a large and highly diverse group of polypeptides accumulating in response to cellular dehydration in many organisms. However, there are only very limited reports of this protein family in maize until this study. In the present paper, we identified 32 LEA genes in maize. A total of 83 LEA proteins including 51 members in Arabidopsis and 3 ...

Abstract:: ... Newly synthesized proteins in eukaryotic cells can only function well after they are accurately transported to specific organelles. The establishment of protein databases and the development of programs have accelerated the study of protein subcellular locations, but their comparisons and evaluations of the prediction accuracy of subcellular location programs in plants are lacking. In this study, ...

Abstract:: ... The dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) transcription factors play important roles in regulation of plant responses to abiotic stresses. In the present study, ZmDBF3, a novel DREB transcription factor gene from maize (Zea mays L.), was cloned and characterized. Sequence analyses revealed that ZmDBF3 is classified into A-4 group. It was demonstrated that ZmDBF3 was induced in by salt, dro ...
