  • Genes for improving salt tolerance and drought tolerance of plant and the uses thereof
    Patent number: 8153861
    Abstract: A gene comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 and another gene comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, the latter being artificially synthesized according to plant preferred codons. Both genes encode a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3. Also provided are recombinant vectors containing each of the genes and host cells transformed with the recombinant vectors. The host cells can be prokaryotic cells [[and]] or eukaryotic cells. The transgenic plants comprising the gene having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 show improved salt and drought tolerance after the [[said]] gene is expressed in the transgenic plants.

  • Genes for improving salt tolerance and drought tolerance of plant and the uses thereof
    Publication number: 20110088121
    Abstract: Provide a nucleotide coding sequence and another nucleotide coding sequence artificially synthesized according to biased codons of plant. Construct recombinant vectors containing the genes as above and transform them into host cells including prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. It is confirmed that the resulting transgenic plant has improved salt and drought tolerance after the said genes are expressed in the plant.
