Which gene is used to for development of salt tolerant crop? A-cry-I gene. B-gene involved in protein(LEA gene)biosynthesis. C-heat shock protein. D-Both 2 and 3
Dear Student ,
Option B is correct.
Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are involved in the responses and adaptation of plants to various abiotic stresses, including dehydration, salinity, high temperature, and cold.first comprehensive survey of the LEA gene family in “Chinese Spring” wheat (Triticum aestivum).
LEA proteins, as intrinsically disordered proteinsare highly hydrophilic and intrinsically unstructured in the hydrated state but partially fold into mainly α-helical structures under dehydration conditions.This feature allows them to function as chaperones via preventing protein aggregation during abiotic stress.
Regards.
