Production of Betacyanins in Transgenic Nicotiana tabacum Increases Tolerance to Salinity

Production of Betacyanins in Transgenic Nicotiana tabacum Increases Tolerance to Salinity

Although red betalain pigments (betacyanins) have been associated with salinity tolerance in some halophytes like Disphyma australe, efforts to determine whether they have a causal role and the underlying mechanisms have been hampered by a lack of a model system. To address this, we engineered betal...
