| Abstract | Abiotic stress especially drought can severely affect the physiological status of any plants; thereby impart a significant negative impact on growth, development, and metabolism. The major emphasis of most of the recent studies was the identification of stress-regulated genes and transcription factors which play an important role in governing tolerance/resistance against abiotic stresses. DEAD-box helicases (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp amino acid) are one of the important genes which confer tolerance to various abiotic stresses. They are involved in unwinding of nucleic acids by utilizing the energy from ATP hydrolysis. PDH47 (Pea DNA Helicase 47kDa) gene, one of the DEAD-box helicases is known to impart various abiotic stress tolerance. In the present study rice transgenic line cv. IR64 was developed through Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation using immature embryos as explants. The putative transgenic lines showed the presence of transgene when subjected to PCR analysis using gene-specific primers. Three previously developed transgenic rice lines in our laboratory namely ASD16-46/1, ASD16-66/1 and ASD16-68/1 expressing PDH47 gene were selected for drought stress tolerance study. Quantitative Real-Time PCR analysis showed a varied level of expression of PDH47 gene both in the root and leaf tissues of the transgenic line before and after drought stress. The expression of PDH47 gene induced during drought stress in the transgenic lines showed the varied level of drought tolerance in the vegetative stage without any negative effects on the morphological and agronomical traits. The physiological and biochemical analyses confirmed that the expression of PDH47 gene in the transgenic lines was associated with increased leaf relative water content, water retention capacity, maintenance of chlorophyll, stomatal conductance, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and water use efficiency. These transgenic lines also showed an increased accumulation of the osmolytes like proline, glycine betaine and decreased electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation, less accumulation of H2O2 during drought stress. These transgenic lines showed better root architecture system such as root length, root number, root thickness, root biomass, shoot biomass and root to shoot ratio as compared to control untransformed plants during drought stress. The western blot analysis confirmed that the expression of RUBISCO large subunit (55kDa) protein was more in the transgenic rice lines as compared to untransformed control plants during drought stress treatment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
