Low Mannitol Concentrations in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> Expressing <i>Ectocarpus</i> Genes Improve Salt Tolerance

Mannitol is abundant in a wide range of organisms, playing important roles in biotic and abiotic stress responses. Nonetheless, mannitol is not produced by a vast majority of plants, including many important crop plants. Mannitol-producing transgenic plants displayed improved tolerance to salt stres...
