Salt-responsive genes in
the roots were selected by
microarray analysis.
Among them, genes for
lipid transfer, zinc finger
and ankyrin repeat proteins
conferred enhanced salt
tolerance to A.
tumefaciens and A.

Furthermore, enhanced salt tolerance was conferred by man grin
expression driven by the GAL1 promoter and the CaMV35S promoter in
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
and tobacco cell lines, respectively. In response to
salt stress, transcripts encoding mangrin increased in cultured
