Abstract: The present disclosure relates to isolation and characterization of PjGST gene from Prosopis juliflora and a method for producing abiotic stress tolerant transgenic plant, more specifically salt and/or drought stress tolerant plant by expression of the gene in rice, tobacco and other plant species. The present disclosure also provides transformed plant, plant cells, plant tissue, plant part, seed, or progeny thereof with enhanced expression of PjGST gene to confer salt and/or drought stress tolerance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an abiotic stress tolerant transgenic plant comprising an Am244 DNA from Avicennia marina. The invention also relates to isolation and characterization of a cDNA corresponding to abiotic stress tolerant gene (Am244 DNA) from Avicennia marina. It further relates to a method for producing abiotic salt-tolerant transgenic plants, plant cells and plant tissues capable of over expressing the Am244 DNA thereby conferring abiotic stress tolerance such as salt, drought and dehydration to otherwise abiotic stress sensitive plant species.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing salt-stress tolerant plants by transforming the plants with an isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding a dehydrin (DHN) protein. The invention further provides a transgenic plant expressing the dehydrin gene of Avicennia marina. Using functional genomics, this gene was derived from large-scale EST sequencing of the cDNA library of the salt tolerant mangrove Avicennia marina.

Abstract: The present invention relates to isolation and characterization of a cDNA corresponding to Na+/H+ antiporter gene from Porteresia coarctata, the deduced protein of the said gene and its promoter region capable of conferring tolerance to abiotic stress in plants. The present invention also relates to cloning the complete cDNA sequence corresponding to Na+/H+ antiporter gene from Porteresia coarctata. The present invention also relates to isolating the promoter for Na+/H+ antiporter gene from Porteresia coarctata. The invention further provides a method for producing abiotic stress tolerant transgenic plants. Further, the invention relates to salt tolerant transformed plants of rice over-expressing the Na+/H+ antiporter gene from Porteresia coarctata.
