  • ABIOTIC STRESS TOLERANT GENE FROM AVICENNIA MARINA ENCODING A PROTEIN
    Publication number: 20090313726
    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.
    Type: Application

  • Dehydrin gene from responsible for conferring salt tolerance in plants
    Patent number: 7622636
    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.
