Abstract

The article presents a study on measuring the drought-tolerance ability of transgenic tobacco and rice plants using salt-and drought-induced ring-finger 1 (SDIR1). Screening of independent transgenic lines, determination of the expression levels, RNA gel blot analysis and water loss assay are performed to the crop plants. It was found out that overexpressions of SDIR1 improves the drought tolerance ability and regulates the stress-related genes of transgenic tobacco and rice.
