Hello everyone, I'm working in Brassica napus under drought stress and oil contents in germination stage and I want to find relation between both of them so can any one tell me some genes related to this relation or how I can explain this relation.
I have a hard time envisioning a plant under the anthropomorphic concept of stress'.
If you mean plants that germinate and develop normally under conditions of reduced water availability than demanded by the ambient radiation, temperature, wind and humidity conditions? We would need to find a new mechanism for photosynthesis because the one available to all plants, sets the limits we have.
Ali Mahmoud Ali El-Badri Do you mean genes that can provide drought resistance associated with high oil content or specific composition in germination stage in Brassica napus?
I think first you should find relationship between these parameters you are going to work on then go ahead.
Dear\ Alex Ignatov
Thanks a lot
I mean genes that can provide drought resistance associated with high or low oil content
Thanks in advance
First define "drought resistance"; because in fact, only rocks maybe termed as being resistant to drought. Plants that can develop normally without meeting transpirational demands, do not exist, and you find a gene that makes photosynthesis more water efficient, collect your Nobel immediately thereafter. Plants that may circumvent sporadic periods of climatic drought may do so by various means, earliness, deeper and faster growing root structure... Genes for these strategies are sure to abound.
