Overexpression of an Apocynum venetum DEAD-box helicase gene (AvDH1) in cotton confers salinity tolerance and increases yield in a saline field

Overexpression of an Apocynum venetum DEAD-box helicase gene (AvDH1) in cotton confers salinity tolerance and increases yield in a saline field

Soil salinity is a major environmental stress limiting plant growth and productivity. We have reported previously the isolation of an Apocynum venetum DEAD-box helicase 1 (AvDH1) that is expressed in response to salt exposure. Here, we report that the overexpression of AvDH1 driven by a constitutive...
