TRANSGENIC PLANT SHOWING POTASSIUM SPECIFICITY TRANSFORMED BY HKT1 HOMOLOG DERIVED FROM THELLUNGIELLA SALSUGINEA

摘要

The present invention relates to TsHKT1; 2 protein derived from thellungiella salsuginea with amino acid sequence number: 1. The protein relates to a transgenic plant which over-expresses TsHKT1; 2 protein with amino acid sequence number: 1 which is transformed by introducing TsHKT1; 2 protein and a gene coding the TsHKT1; 2 protein. The TsHKT1; 2 protein is characterized by making the plant body selectively absorb potassium ions and maintaining the homeostasis of the potassium ions and sodium ions.
