| 2000 | Invention patented by Gad Galili, Orit Shaul, Dirk Inze, Marc Van Montagu, and Donald W. Hilgemann on November 23th, 2000. Abstract: An isolated DNA molecule is provided coding for a polypeptide of the 11-12 transmembrane domain transporter family having a Mg.sup.2+ /H.sup.+ or Zn.sup.2+ /H.sup.+ exchange activity, herein designated MHX. The genomic MHX DNA was isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana cv. C-24. Transgenic plants transformed with said DNA and expressing MHX are shown to have a lower content of sodium as compared with corresponding wild-type plants or a higher dry matter weight upon growth in calcium-rich media as compared with corresponding wild-type plants. These transgenic plants are tolerant to stress conditions, particularly high salinity and calcium-rich media, e.g. saline and calcareous soils. |
