Over-Expression of a Melon Y3SK2-Type <i>LEA</i> Gene Confers Drought and Salt Tolerance in Transgenic Tobacco Plants
Climate change, with its attendant negative effects, is expected to hamper agricultural production in the coming years. To counteract these negative effects, breeding of environmentally resilient plants via conventional means and genetic engineering is necessary. Stress defense genes are valuable to...
