  • Polynucleotides encoding a NAX2 polypeptide and methods for enhancing salinity tolerance in plants
    Patent number: 8536429
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides, and polynucleotides encoding therefor, with cation transporter activity. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for producing, identifying, and/or breeding transgenic or non-transgenic plants, especially wheat or barley plants, with enhanced tolerance to saline and/or sodic soils, and/or reduced sodium accumulation in an aerial part of the plant. Also provided are plants produced using these methods.

  • Markers for Salinity Tolerance in Wheat Plants and the Use Thereof in Breeding Programs
    Publication number: 20080028480
    Abstract: The present invention relates to markers of a Nax locus of wheat plants, particularly durum wheat, linked to reduced sodium accumulation, as well as enhanced tolerance to saline and/or sodic soils. The present invention also relates to the use of these markers in breeding programs to produce plants with reduced sodium accumulation, as well as enhanced tolerance to saline and/or sodic soils. Furthermore, the invention relates to plants produced by these breeding programs.
