Exogenous Salt and ABA Enhanced Stress Responsive Nuclear Protein in Solanum Lycopersicum

Abstract

Abiotic stresses such as salt and water stresses severely reduce crop productivity. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important economic crop; however, not much is known about its stress responses. In our previous transcriptomic and computational studies we showed the level of salinity tolerance in different tomato cultivars. Rab genes were found quite responsive under salinity stress in two tomato cultivars (Pusa Ruby and Punjab Keshari).
