Importin-β From the Recretohalophyte Limonium bicolor Enhances Salt Tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana by Reducing Root Hair Development and Abscisic Acid Sensitivity

AimsTo elucidate the genetics underlying salt tolerance in recretohalophytes and assess its relevance to non-halophytes, we cloned the Limonium bicolor homolog of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) SUPER SENSITIVE TO ABA AND DROUGHT2 (AtSAD2) and named it LbSAD2, an importin-β gene associated with t...
