NOVEL RICE GENE REGULATING SALT STRESS TOLERANCE

摘要

It is intended to provide a gene encoding a protein which regulates tolerance to salt stress. Namely, polynucleotides encoding a plant gene which regulates the tolerance to salt stress. These polynucleotides involve a polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of from methionine at the 1−position to asparagine at the 243−position in SEQ ID NO:2 in Sequence Listing and a polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence derived from the above amino acid sequence by deletion, substitution and/or addition of one to several amino acids and having a function of regulating the salt stress tolerance.
