Overexpression of MsRCI2A, MsRCI2B, and MsRCI2C in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Provides Different Extents of Enhanced Alkali and Salt Tolerance Due to Functional Specialization of MsRCI2s

Rare cold-inducible 2/plasma membrane protein 3 (RCI2/PMP3) genes are ubiquitous in plants and belong to a multigene family whose members respond to a variety of abiotic stresses by regulating ion homeostasis and stabilizing membranes, thus preventing damage. In this study, the expression of MsRCI2A...
