Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Arabidopsis thaliana plants died under 0.1 M salt culture.
- Observation Cyanidioschyzon merolae cells survived under 0.3 M salt for 7 days.
- Observation At 0.4 M salt, the algal chloroplasts whitened and the cells soon died.
- Observation The number of highly expressed algal genes rose from 70 at 2 h to 95 at 24 h under salt stress.
- Recommendation The authors propose the C. merolae SAM synthetase gene as a candidate for engineering salt-tolerant plants.
