Characterization and Genetic Manipulation of D-cysteine Desulfhydrase from Solanum lycopersicum
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-15)Progress in DNA sequencing of plant genomes has revealed that, in addition to microorganisms, a number of plants contain genes which share similarity to microbial 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminases. ACC ... -
Effects of a bacterial ACC deaminase on plant growth-promotion
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-26)Plants often live in association with growth-promoting bacteria, which provide them with several benefits. One such benefit is the lowering of plant ethylene levels through the action of the bacterial enzyme 1-aminocyclo ... -
Enhanced Phytoremediation of Salt-Impacted Soils Using Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR)
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-06)Soil salinity is a widespread problem that limits crop yield throughout the world. The accumulation of soluble salts in the soil can inhibit plant growth by increasing the osmotic potential of interstitial water, inducing ... -
Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterial Endophytes that contain ACC Deaminase: Isolation, Characterization, and Use
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-26)Bacteria that provide benefit to plants are considered to be plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and can facilitate plant growth by a number of different mechanisms. Plant growth-promoting bacteria that are able to ... -
Two of the Mechanims Used by Bacteria to Modify the Environment: Quorum Sensing and ACC Deaminase
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-27)Quorum sensing (QS) cell-cell communication systems are utilized by bacteria to coordinate their behaviour according to cell density. Several different types of QS signal molecules have been identified, among which ... -
The Use of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and an Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus (AMF) to Improve Plant Growth in Saline Soils for Phytoremediation
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-18)Upstream oil and gas production has caused soil salinity problems across western Canada. In this work we investigated the use of ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate) deaminase-producing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria ...
