Overexpression of IbMIPS1 gene enhances salt tolerance in transgenic sweetpotato

Abstract: Myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) is a key rate limiting enzyme in the de novo biosynthesis of myo-inositol in plants. In the present study, the IbMIPS1 gene was introduced into sweetpotato cultivar Xushu 18 and the transgenic plants exhibited significantly enhanced salt tolerance c...
