Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • The overexpression of the SLGlyI gene led to an increase in the glyoxalase system at protein and enzyme levels, and reduced the MG content under Al-treated conditions.
  • The Al-induced differentially expressed proteins associated with degradation of methylglyoxal and Al toxicity in tomato plants overexpressing a SLGlyI gene.
  • These results indicate that the amount of Al deposited on tomato roots was not influenced by the SLGlyI transgenic events.
  • Al treatments induced MG accumulation in tomato root-tips, and inhibited tomato plant growth. The overexpression of the SLGlyI gene led to an increase in the glyoxalase system at protein and enzyme levels, and reduced the MG content under Al-treated conditions. The overexpression of SLGlyI gene helped to ameliorate, but not totally overcome, the Al-induced inhibitory effects on root growth from Al treatments.
