Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0011138A1] A transgenic turfgrass plant expressing a betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase-encoding transgene is provided. The transgenic plant displays significantly increased tolerance to salinity than does its non-transgenic equivalents. The plant also displays increased tolerance to drought conditions. The salt- and drought-tolerant transgenic turfgrass may be planted in regions of high salinity, such as seaside, or in regions where irrigation water is scarce.
