Preliminary In Silico Analysis of Choline Monooxygenase and Betaine Aldehyde Dehydrogenase from Suaeda monoica Forssk. and its Expression in E. coli.
Abstract: AbstractIn a tropical country like India, the yield of crop plants is majorly affected by soil salinity and drought. One of the strategies to address this problem is by introducing genes responsible for salinity/drought tolerance in crop plants. Such genes could be identified and isolated from mangrove plants, as they are known to have evolved certain physiological mechanisms to augment saline environments. One such mechanism is the accumulation of Glycine …
