Proline accumulation and salt-stress-induced gene expression in a salt-hypersensitive mutant of Arabidopsis.
Plant physiology - 1 Jun 1997

Abstract excerpt
The sos1 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana is more than 20 times more sensitive to NaCl stress than wild type Arabidopsis. Because proline (Pro) is generally thought to have an important role in plant salt tolerance, the sos1 mutant and the wild type were compared with respect to their capacity to accumulate Pro under NaCl stress, and sos1 mutant plants accumulated more Pro than wild-type. The P5CS gene, which...
