An S-adenosyl methionine synthetase (SAMS) gene from Andropogon virginicus L. confers aluminum stress tolerance and facilitates epigenetic gene regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Candidate clones which conferred Al tolerance to yeast transformants (TFs) were obtained from a cDNA library derived from a highly Al-tolerant poaceae, Andropogon virginicus L. One such clone, AL3A-4, encoded an S-adenosyl methionine synthetase (SAMS) gene. A full-length cDNA was obtained by 5’-RA...
