Abstract excerpt
Dehydrins are late embryogenesis abundant proteins that help regulate abiotic stress responses in plants. Overexpression of the Saussurea involucrata dehydrin gene SiDHN has previously been shown to improve water-use efficiency and enhance cold and drought tolerance of transgenic tobacco. To understand the mechanism by which SiDHN exerts its protective function, we transformed the SiDHN gene into tomato plants...
