Abstract excerpt
Dehydrins (DHNs) are late embryonic abundant proteins characterized by the dehydrin domains that are involved in plant abiotic stress tolerance. In this study, fifty-four wheat DHN unigenes were identified in the expressed sequence tags database. These genes encode seven types of dehydrins (KS, SK3, YSK2, Y2SK2, Kn, Y2SK3, and YSK3) and separate in 32 homologous clusters. The gene amplification differed among the...
