Overexpression of a Plasma Membrane Bound Na⁺/H⁺ Antiporter-Like Protein (SbNHXLP) Confers Salt Tolerance and Improves Fruit Yield in Tomato by Maintaining Ion Homeostasis.

ABSTRACT: A Na⁺/H⁺ antiporter-like protein (NHXLP) was isolated from Sorghum bicolor L. (SbNHXLP) and validated by overexpressing in tomato for salt tolerance. Homozygous T₂ transgenic lines when evaluated for salt tolerance, accumulated low Na⁺ and displayed enhanced salt tolerance compared to wild-type plants (WT). This is consistent with the amiloride binding assay of the protein. Transgenics exhibited higher accumulation of proline, K⁺, Ca²⁺, improved cambial conductivity, higher PSII, and antioxidative enzyme activities than WT. Fluorescence imaging results revealed lower Na⁺ and higher Ca²⁺ levels in transgenic roots. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate that SbNHXLP interacts
