Abscisic Acid, Stress, and Ripening (TtASR1) Gene as a Functional Marker for Salt Tolerance in Durum Wheat

Figure 6

Expression of TtASR1 confers stress tolerance to yeast cells. Wild type and mutant yeast strains transformed with empty vector (Ø) or with TtASR1 (+TtASR1) were grown for 2 days under normal growth conditions (30°C) or under drought stress (mannitol 0.5 mM ) and salt stress NaCl 1 M) in minimum solid media containing galactose as carbon source. Shown growth tests are representative of at least three independent replicates. (a) NaCl 1 M. (b) mannitol 0.5 M.
