Palacios, Francisco J. Choix, Francisco J. Choix, Eduardo Juárez-Carrillo, Martha A. Lara-González, Miguel Ángel Hurtado-Oliva, Héctor Ocampo-Alvarez

“…This was further supported by the overexpression of thermal energy dissipation, which fine-tunes energy use efficiency and may prevent the formation of reactive oxygen species in the chloroplast. Furthermore, gene expression analyses suggested that a selective transport channel gene, SlHKT1,2, induced by S. arenicola may assist in relieving salt stress in tomato plants. …”
