GENOMIC, TRANSCRIPTOMIC, AND PROTEOMIC APPROACHES TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING THE MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF SALT TOLERANCE IN FRANKIA STRAINS ISOLATED FROM CASUARINA TREES

Genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic approaches towards understanding the molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance in Frankia strains isolated from Casuarina trees

Abstract Background Soil salinization is a worldwide problem that is intensifying because of the effects of climate change.An effective method for the reclamation of salt-affected soils involves initiating plant succession using fast growing, nitrogen fixing actinorhizal trees such as the Casuarina.The salt tolerance of Casuarina is enhanced by the
