Role of Plant Endoplasmic Reticulum in Salt Stress

Salt stress is a type of osmotic stress that significantly impacts plant growth and crop yield. Under salt stress, a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is accumulated in plant cells, cell division is inhibited, and cell membranes become disorganized. High salinity has been reported to trigger many common and interacting downstream effects, such as high levels of abscisic acid (ABA) and stress response gene expression.

Lifeasible provides a range of services to our customers worldwide, from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-responsive genes to unfolded protein response components. With extensive experience and expertise in plant science, we are committed to providing you with timely and high-quality deliverables.

ER Stress-Responsive Genes Induced by Salt Stress

• When large amounts of unfolded or misfolded proteins accumulate in the ER cavity, the plant cell faces ER stress. However, plants under heat, cold, salt, or drought stress can also show ER stress response.

• Lifeasible provides the analysis of gene expression in response to ER stress and response to salt stress, respectively, and compares the gene expression profiles of salt and ER stress. In addition, we also identify transcripts for genes that may be involved in salt tolerance, as well as many genes differentially expressed under both ER and salt stresses.

Unfolded Protein Response Component in Response to Salt Stress

• BiP contributes to protein folding and plays a role in ER quality control mechanisms. When plant cells face ER stress, they respond to ER stress through the unfolded protein response (UPR), thus balancing ER processing and folding ability with cell secretory activity.
• We provide services to investigate the mechanism of BiP in salt stress and thus reveal the role of unfolded protein response in this process, including plant transformation, analysis of transgenic plants, immunoblot analysis, real-time RT-PCR analysis, and others.

Plant-Specific Transcription Factors in Response to Salt Stress

• Some transcription factors can control the expression of target genes by binding to specific cis-acting elements in the promoters that can confer resistance to salt stress in plants.
• We provide services for NAC, WRKY, bZIP, and other transcription factors, which are a component of ER stress- and salt stress-induced cell death response.
