Objective

To examine the effect of salt stress on phytohormones using phytohormonal mutants of A. thaliana.
- Ethylene insensitive
- Ethylene overproducer
- ABA deficient
- Auxin resistant
- BR insensitive
- BR overproducer
In an attempt to explain the results ethylene’s interactions with other hormones in response to salt stress was also investigated
Could possibly allow the development of salt stress tolerant plants by genetically modifying the expression and accumulation of phytohormones in the plants.
