Cloning and Expression Analysis of ZmERD3 Gene From Zea mays.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stresses (such as drought, salt, viruses, and others) seriously affect plant productivity. To cope with these threats, plants express a large number of genes, including several members of ERD (early responsive to dehydration) genes to synthesize and assemble adaptive molecules. But, the function of ERD3 gene hasn't been known so far.

Objectives

The purpose of the present study was to clone the stress-resistance gene: ZmERD3, and to analyze its expression pattern in the maize plant organs at different stages and under various stress treatments.

Materials and methods

MaizeGDB database search together with the bioinformatics analysis led to the identification of ZmERD3 gene in Zea mays. The cDNA sequence and promoter o
