Tomato salt response

ABSTRACT: Wild halophytic tomato has long been considered as an ideal gene donor for improving salt tolerance in tomato cultivars. Here, a wild tomato genotype, Solanum pimpinellifolium M-bM-^@M-^XPI365967M-bM-^@M-^Y is significantly more salt-tolerant than a cultivar, Solanum lycopersicom M-bM-^@M-^XmoneymakerM-bM-^@M-^Y. Affymetrix Tomato Genome Arrays was used to compare the transcriptome change of PI365967 and Moneymaker by salt treatment.After treatment with 200 mM NaCl for 5 h, PI365967 showed relatively fewer responsive genes compared to Moneymaker. Salt Overly Sensitive (SOS) pathway was found to be more active in PI365967 than in Moneymaker, coinciding with relatively less accumulation of Na+ in shoots of PI365967. A gene encoding salicylic acid-binding protein 2 (SABP2) was induced by sali
