Abstract:
1. An isolated DNA selected from the group consisting of: (a) an isolated DNA that encodes a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; (b) an isolated DNA that comprises the coding region of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; (c) an isolated DNA that encodes a protein comprising an amino acid sequence that has at least 95% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said isolated DNA encodes a protein that is induced to be produced in a rice root in response to sodium chloride or drought but not abscisic acid; and (d) an isolated DNA that hybridizes to a complementary DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence complementary to that of SEQ ID NO:1 under stringent conditions of 6M urea, 0.4% SDS, and 0.1X SSC, wherein said isolated DNA encodes a protein that is induced to be produced in a rice root in response to sodium chloride or drought but not abscisic acid.
