| Research Abstract |
To identify key genes in the regulation of salt tolerance in B. gymnorhiza, we performed three kinds of omics experiments. Those are the screening of salt responsive genes, followed by their functional analysis, the comprehensive functional screening of the Agrobacterium libraries expressing the mangrove cDNAs, and the identification of salt responsive proteins by proteome analysis of the mangrove plant. The selected genes were transferred into model plants and it was confirmed that some genes could confer salt tolerance to Arabidopsis.
