Abstract
The present invention relates to three novel genes of SEQ ID Nos. 1-3 useful for water-stress tolerance in biological systems, wherein said genes are differentially expressed in Tea plant under drought conditions and a method of introducing said genes into a biological system to help develop water stress tolerance.
Claims20
Genes of SEQ ID Nos. 1-3.
A method of identifying genes of SEQ ID No. 1-3 differentially expressed in tea plant under water-deficient stress conditions, said method comprising steps of:
- (i) isolating total mRNA from said plant growing both under normal and drought conditions,
- (ii) reverse transcripting said mRNAs to obtain corresponding cDNA,
- (iii) sequencing said cDNA, and
- (iv) identifying differentially expressed genes using said cDNA sequences.
A method of introducing water-deficient stress tolerance in plant systems using genes of SEQ ID No. 1-3, said method comprising step of transferring said genes into the said systems.
