Effects of Long-Term Exposure to RF/MW Radiations on the Expression of mRNA of Stress Proteins in Lycospersicon esculentum
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: Low levels of RF radiation exposure can modify the protein’s activity by stimulating or inhibiting their expression in cells. The proteinase inhibitor (Pin II) and Lycospersicon esculentum basic leucine Zipper1 (lebZIP1) are two wound-plants genes. The aim of this work is to study the rate of accumulation of pin II and lebZIP1 at the level of messenger RNA after 10 days of electromagnetic waves exposure. Using RT-PCR and RT-qPCR, the results show that Pin II and lebZIP1synthesis change at the level of cDNA. PinII and lebZIP1 surexpression influence the growth and the differentiation and evoke an increase of protein accumulation in the cell.
