TRANSGENIC EVALUATION OF ACTIVATED MUTANT ALLELES OF SOS2 REVEALS A CRITICAL REQUIREMENT FOR ITS KINASE ACTIVITY AND C-TERMINAL REGULATORY DOMAIN FOR SALT TOLERANCE IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA

摘要

The present invention provides a method of increasing salt tolerance in a plant by overexpressing a gene encoding a mutant S0S2 protein in at least one cell type in the plant. The present invention also provides for transgenic plants expressing the mutant S0S2 proteins.
