Abstract
The present invention provide nucleic acids encoding polypeptides which confer salt tolerance and plants an other organisms. The nucleic acids can be used to produce transgenic cultivars suitable for growth under saline conditions.
Claims13
An isolated nucleic acid construct comprising an STO polynucleotide sequence which comprises at least about 200 nucleotides and hybridizes to SEQ. ID. No. 3 under hybridization conditions which include washing with a solution having a salt concentration of about 0.02 molar at pH 7 and at about 60.degree. C.
A transgenic plant comprising a recombinant expression cassette comprising a plant promoter operably linked to an STO polynucleotide sequence which comprises at least about 200 nucleotides and hybridizes to SEQ. ID. No. 3 under hybridization conditions which include washing with a solution having a salt concentration of about 0.02 molar at pH 7 and at about 60.degree. C.
An isolated nucleic acid construct comprising an STO polynucleotide sequence that encodes an STO polypeptide as shown in SEQ. ID. No. 4.
A transgenic plant comprising a recombinant expression cassette comprising a plant promoter operably linked to an STO polynucleotide sequence that encodes an STO polypeptide as shown in SEQ. ID. No. 4.
