Improving salt tolerance in potato through overexpression of AtHKT1 gene

Abstract Background Survival of plants in response to salinity stress is typically related to Na+ toxicity, but little is known about how heterologous high-affinity potassium transporter (HKT) may help alleviate salt-induced damages in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Results In this study, we used th...
