Patent

CA 2313449

The invention is an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a Na+/H+ exchanger protein for extrusion of sodium ions from the cytosol of a cell to provide the cell with salt tolerance. In a preferred embodiment, the nucleic acid is obtained from Arabidopsis thaliana. Crop species transformed with the gene are capable of surviving in soil with high salt levels that would normally inhibit growth of the crop species.
