New insights into the salt-responsive regulation in eelgrass at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels
As a marine monocotyledon, eelgrass is helpful to find conserved salt tolerance mechanisms by cross-species comparison. By examining the transcriptional responses of homologous genes in eelgrass, rice, and maize, we identified several groups of genes that are conserved in their response to salt stress. These conserved gene resources may provide targets for genetic engineering to improve the salt tolerance of crops.
