| Abstract | The Tdp1 gene encoding tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase has been extensively investigated in animal cells, due to the role of this enzyme in the repair of topoisomerase I-DNA covalent lesions. In contrast, information in this regard is totally missing in plants. We report for the first time in plants on the Tdp1 gene family from barrel medic (Medicago truncatula Gaertn.), composed of two members, hereby named MtTdp1α and MtTdp1β. The expression profiles of MtTdp1α and MtTdp1β genes were evaluated in plantlets grown in vitro using copper and polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) as stress agents. In situ detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was carried out by histochemical staining, while the level of oxidative DNA damage, quantified in terms of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxo-dG), increased up to 7.4- and 6.7-fold in response to copper and PEG 6000 treatments, respectively. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed that both Tdp1 genes were significantly up-regulated in response to copper and PEG. The Tdp1 genes were also significantly up-regulated during seed rehydration, an aspect of seed physiology in which DNA repair is a key component. Thus, the Tdp1 genes might be used as novel tools for improving stress tolerance in crops. The expression patterns of the barrel medic top1α and top1β genes, encoding distinct isoforms of DNA topoisomerase I, were also analyzed and discussed to acquire additional information on their specific functions, closely related to that of the Tdp1 gene in animal cells. |

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.
