THE TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR GENE OSNACX FROM RICE AND USE FOR IMPROVING TOLERANCE OF PLANTS TO DROUGHT AND SALT THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to an isolated polynucleotide capable of giving a plant tolerance to drought and/or salt stress, which comprises a polynucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1, and to a promoter capable of giving a plant tolerance to drought and/or salt stress. The present invention also relates to an expression vector comprising the said polynucleotide and/or the said promoter, and to a host cell transformed or transfected by the said expression vector. The present invention further relates to a use of the said polynucleotide or promoter sequence in improvement of plant tolerance to drought and/or salt stress.
