Yehoram Leshem, Naomi Melamed-Book, Olivier Cagnac, Gil Ronen, Yossi Nishri, Mazal Solomon,Gil Cohen, Alex Levine. Suppression of Arabidopsis vesicle-SNARE expression inhibited fusion of H2O2-containing vesicles with tonoplast and increased salt tolerance. (2006) PNAS, 103:18008-18013
The increase of plant salt tolerance gained by silencing a gene, AtVamp7c, involved in trafficking of biological compounds within the plant cell is described. Evogene, jointly with the lab of Dr. Alex Levine from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, have studied the involvement of central intracellular trafficking genes in abiotic stress. The lab of Dr. Levine have further studied the plants developed during the collaboration, and revealed the nature of the plant salt tolerance gained by silencing the Atvamp7c gene.
