Improved salt tolerance and seed cotton yield in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) by transformation with betA gene for glycinebetaine synthesis
Homozygous transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) plants that accumulated glycinebetaine (GB) in larger quantities were more tolerant to salt than wild-type (WT) plants. Four transgenic lines, namely 1, 3, 4, ...
