Effect of Medicago sativa ferritin gene on stress tolerance in transgenic grapevine

The effect of Medicago sativa (alfalfa) ferritin gene (MsFer) on abiotic stress tolerance was tested using transgenic Vitis berlandieri × Vitis rupestris cv. ‘Richter 110' grapevine rootstock lines. Leaf discs from transgenic plants maintained higher photosynthetic activity after NaCl, tert-but...

Zusammenfassung:	The effect of Medicago sativa (alfalfa) ferritin gene (MsFer) on abiotic stress tolerance was tested using transgenic Vitis berlandieri × Vitis rupestris cv. ‘Richter 110' grapevine rootstock lines. Leaf discs from transgenic plants maintained higher photosynthetic activity after NaCl, tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (t-BHP) or paraquat treatment than control ones. These results indicate that the increased production of ferritin significantly improved abiotic stress tolerance in transgenic grapevine plants.
