t1“Enhances Salt Tolerance in Rice”
e4“During early seedling and vegetative stages, the single gene and pyramided transgenic rice plants showed enhanced tolerance to salt stress with minimal wilting and drying symptoms, improved shoot and root growth, and significantly higher chlorophyll content, relative water content, and K+/Na+ ratio than the control plants”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Overexpression of SaSRP3-1 significantly improved E. coli growth under 600 mM NaCl compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Single-gene and pyramided transgenic rice showed enhanced tolerance to salt stress compared with control plants at seedling and vegetative stages.
- Intervention effect Transgenic rice under salt stress had significantly higher chlorophyll content, relative water content and K+/Na+ ratio than control plants.
- Intervention effect Under salt stress at the reproductive stage, single-gene and pyramided transgenic plants had better grain filling than control plants.
- Intervention effect Under salt stress the pyramided rice plants had significantly higher grain yield and grain weight than control plants.
- Recommendation Transgenic pyramiding is a viable approach to achieve a higher level of salt tolerance in rice.
