Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A member of the TaHKT2;1 multigene family was previously identified as a Na(+) transporter with a possible role in root Na(+) uptake. In the present study, the existing full-length cDNA of this member was used as a basis to query the International Wheat Genome Survey Sequence to identify all members of the TaHKT2;1 family. Individual TaHKT2;1 genes were subsequently studied for gene and predicted...
