Overexpression of a <i>Metallothionein 2A</i> Gene from Date Palm Confers Abiotic Stress Tolerance to Yeast and <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>

Although the date palm tree is an extremophile with tolerance to drought and certain levels of salinity, the damage caused by extreme salt concentrations in the soil, has created a need to explore stress-responsive traits and decode their mechanisms. Metallothioneins (MTs) are low-molecular-weight c...
