Abstract excerpt
Wild species often show more tolerance to environmental stress factors than their cultivated counterparts. An early responsive-to-dehydration gene was cloned from a drought- and salt-tolerant wild tomato Solanum pennellii (SpERD15). SpERD15 transcript accumulated differentially in different organs, and was remarkably induced by dehydration, salinity, cold and treatment with plant growth regulators. The protein...
