Enhanced salt tolerance conferred by the complete 2.3 kb cDNA of the rice vacuolar Na+/H+antiporter gene compared to 1.9 kb coding region with 5' UTR in transgenic lines of Rice

Enhanced salt tolerance conferred by the complete 2.3 kb cDNA of the rice vacuolar Na+/H+antiporter gene compared to 1.9 kb coding region with 5' UTR in transgenic lines of Rice

Soil salinity is one of the most challenging problems that restricts the normal growth and production of rice worldwide. It has therefore become very important to produce more saline tolerant rice varieties. This study shows constitutive over-expression of the vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter gene (OsNHX1...
