Expression of OsNHX1 gene in maize confers salt tolerance and promotes plant growth in the field

Maize yield is severely affected by soil salinity. In an effort to engineer maize for improved salt tolerance, embryogenic calli of maize were co-bombarded with plasmids containing Oryza sativa Na+/H+ antiporter gene (OsNHX1) and bar genes. For the molecular analysis of putative transgenic samples,...
