Salinity is defined as the presence of excessive amounts of soluble
salts that affect the normal functions of plant growth.
In India 6.73 million hectares are salt-affected
Soil salinity is a worldwide issue threatening land productivity.
30% loss of arable land 2025
50% of all arable land will become impacted by salinity by 2050

Genetic engineering
The change in genetic make up of living cells by inserting desired gene through a vector
in called genetic engineering .
Transgenes: The plants obtained through genetic engineering contain a gene or genes
usually from unrelated organism.
The plants containing them are know as transgenic plants.

20. Conclusion
• A salt and drought-inducible CBF transcription factor (ClCBF1) was isolated from Chrysanthemum
lavandulifolium.
• Overexpression of ClCBF1 in C. morifolium ‘White Snow’ resulted in enhanced tolerance to salt and
drought stresses.
• These results indicated that ClCBF1 might directly or indirectly regulate stress-related genes to
increase salt and drought tolerance.

Conclusion
•The three P5CS genes in Lilium regale play distinct roles respectively in
proline accumulation and abiotic stress tolerance.
•Duplication of LrP5CS provides new evidence for the evolution of P5CS in
monocots.

•DgWRKY2 confers salt tolerance to transgenic chrysanthemum by
enhancing antioxidant and osmotic adjustment.
•This study suggests that DgWRKY2 could be used as a reserve gene
