DEAD-box RNA helicase RH 8 Method for improving the resistance to drought stress using DEAD-box RNA helicase RH 8 in plants

摘要

The present invention relates to a gene for RH8 (DEAD-box RNA helicase 8) derived from Arabidopsis thaliana, and a method for enhancing dry stress resistance of a plant using the gene and protein. The present invention relates to a RH8 (DEAD-box RNA helicase 8) gene encoding a positive regulator protein for drying stress. More specifically, the present invention relates to a RH8 gene encoding a positive regulator protein for drying stress, Interacts with and acts as a positive regulator in the ABA signal transduction pathway and has been shown to be able to regulate the tolerance to dryness in plants using the same, It is expected that it will be used to improve the crops available to mankind and improve the productivity of plants.
