Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition for improving a tolerance to a salt stress or a drought stress of a plant, and a method for preparing transformed plant exhibiting improved tolerance to salt stress or drought stress. The nucleotide sequences of the present invention are involved in salt or drought stress-tolerance, therefore may be effectively used for cultivating the plants with novel functional features which are less affected by climates and environments of the cultivated areas.
Claims6
A method for preparing transformed Arabidopsis thaliana exhibiting improved tolerance to a salt stress, the method comprising:
- (a) introducing a transformation vector into the AtSRG1 gene, wherein the transformation vector inhibits an expression of a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:3 into a Arabidopsis thaliana cell;
- (b) obtaining the transformed Arabidopsis thaliana exhibiting improved salt stress tolerance from the Arabidopsis thaliana cell of (a);
- and
- (c) growing the transformed Arabidopsis thaliana under a salt stress condition.
A method for improving a tolerance to a salt stress of Arabidopsis thaliana, the method comprising:
- (a) introducing a transformation vector into the AtSRG1 gene, wherein the transformation vector inhibits an expression of a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:3 into a cell of the Arabidopsis thaliana;
- (b) obtaining a transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana exhibiting improved tolerance to a salt stress from the cell of the Arabidopsis thaliana;
- and
- (c) growing the transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana under a salt stress condition.
