Overexpression of Abiotic Stress-Responsive <i>SsCor413-1</i> Gene Enhances Salt and Drought Tolerance in Sugarcane (<i>Saccharum</i> spp. Hybrid).

ABSTRACT: The cold-regulated (Cor413) gene family encodes plant-specific, multispanning transmembrane proteins that localize to the plasma and thylakoid membranes; these genes are regulated by environmental stimuli. In this study, the Cor413-1 gene, isolated from the drought and saline-tolerant wild species Saccharum spontaneum, was engineered into the elite sugarcane cultivar Co 86032 to produce a commercially superior cultivar with improved abiotic stress tolerance. Expression analysis of the Cor413-1 gene transgenic lines under drought and salinity stress exhibited distinct gene expression patterns. During stress conditions, transgenic events, such as Cor413-9 and Cor413-3, showed notable resilience to salt stress and had a high relative expression of the
