RNA interference(RNAi)
A general endogenous mechanism in many organisms including plant that is used to
silence the expression of the genes that control various events in the cell
In 1990, In an attempt to enhance the flower color in petunias, researchers introduced
additional copies of a gene encoding chalcone synthase
Over expressed gene was expected to result in darker flowers, but instead produced less
pigmented, fully or partially white flowers
Andrew Fire and Craig C. Mello shared 2006 Nobel Award in Medicine or Physiology for
their work in RNA interference in Caenorhabditis elegans
Micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) are central to RNA
interference

Advantages:
• This natural mechanism for sequence-specific gene silencing may have important
practical application in functional genomics, therapeutic intervention, agriculture
and other areas
• RNA interference provides defence to the cell against parasitic nucleotide
sequence e.g. virus
•RNA interference can also be mediated artificially by inserting a dsRNA into the
cell

Effect of stress on plants
Biotic stress: is imposed by other organism
Abiotic stress: arises from an excess or deficit of the physical or
chemical environment like drought, water logging, excess low
temperature or high temperature and excess soil salinity
Abiotic factors provide the major limitation to crop production worldwide
Affects plant growth and development
Therefore there is need of stress resistance in plants
Stress resistance or sensitivity depends on the genotype, species and
developmental age of the plant

Glycine Betaine (GB): as an osmoprotectant
6
N,N,N- trimethylglycine (GB) is an amphoteric quarternary amine
Provides osmotic adjustment to the plant under stressed condition
GB is synthesized in plants through a two stepped process
Choline monooxygenase (CMO) and Betaine aldehyde
dehydrogenase (BADH) enzyme catalyze the first and second step
respectively
Rice (Oryza sativa) has two homologs of BADH gene.viz-BADH1
and BADH2

Highest expression of OsBADH1 gene in roots and leaves, least expression
level in stem (figure1)
reduced abiotic stress tolerance and crop productivity in OsBADH1
Downregulated plants (figure 4,5,6 and 9)
Glycine betaine (GB) content was not affected (figure 3)
The downregulation of OsBADH1 altered the ROS scavenging capacity of the
transgenic plant without changing GB content (figure 7 and 8)
Therefore OsBADH1 has a pivotal role in stress tolerance without altering
GB (Glycine betaine) biosynthesis capacity
![Page 22: RNAi-DIRECTED SILENCING OF POTENT STRESS TOLERANT GENE(S) AND ITS EFFECT ON STRESS TOLERANCE IN PLANTS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58ec95cf1a28ab84668b45a1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

CONCLUSION
OsBADH1 gene confers stress tolerance and also increase crop
productivity
Downregulation of OsBADH1 gene significantly alters scavanging of
ROS(reactive oxygen species) like H2O2 and lipid perozidation product
like MDA
Therefore, it can be concluded that OsBADH1 gene is very
essential for stress tolerance and crop productivity of rice plant
