ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS-RESISTANT GENE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the resistance of various species of organisms, especially higher plants to environmental stresses. SOLUTION: A cDNA library derived from an organism having strong stress resistance such as mangrove is expressed in Escherichia coli having strong stress sensitivity to select a clone having enhanced stress resistance. A gene obtained by the method is expressed in various species of cells to thereby create a transformant cell having the enhanced stress resistance.
