Characterization of a novel soybean candidate glutathione peroxidase/thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase under salt stress

The study aimed to investigate the following: 1. Investigate a putative glutathione peroxidase gene (Glyma17g34110) within Glycine max by an in silico analysis and spatial expression. 2. Determine the effects of exogenously applied nitric oxide on the expression of Glyma17g34110. 3. Investigate the...

Description
Summary:The study aimed to investigate the following: 1. Investigate a putative glutathione peroxidase gene (Glyma17g34110) within Glycine max by an in silico analysis and spatial expression. 2. Determine the effects of exogenously applied nitric oxide on the expression of Glyma17g34110. 3. Investigate the antioxidant mechanism with attention to Glyma17g34110,reactive oxygen species and cell death in the response to salt stress. 4. Establish whether Glyma17g34110 is a glutathione peroxidase or thioredoxindependent peroxidase gene. === Magister Scientiae - MSc
