TL;DR

The increase in proline content, maintenance of chlorophyll and percentage RWC confirm that the AHL15 gene induces drought resistance in the AHL15GR transgenic tobacco plants, highlighting a gene-driven pathway to build climate-resilient crops, which is essential for ensuring food security and sustainability in water-scarce regions.

AcCHI, a Chitinase from Atriplex canescens, Confers Enhanced Tolerance to Osmotic and Salt Stress in Glycine max by Reinforcing Antioxidant and Osmotic Responses

Soybean is the most crucial oilseed and plant-protein crop worldwide, yet its yield is frequently threatened by salinity and drought stress. In this study, the chitinase gene AcCHI was cloned from the highly stress-tolerant plant Atriplex canescens and heterologously overexpressed in soybean to generate stable T3 homoz...
