Comparative functional genomics of salt stress in related model and cultivated plants identifies and overcomes limitations to translational genomics.

One of the objectives of plant translational genomics is to use knowledge and genes discovered in model species to improve crops. However, the value of translational genomics to plant breeding, especially for complex traits like abiotic stress tolerance, remains uncertain. Using comparative genomics...
