Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: MusaDHN-1
• Gene Name: SK3-type dehydrin
• Genome:
• Species: Musa acuminata

Functional Descriptions:

• MusaDHN-1, a novel multiple stress-inducible SK3-type dehydrin gene, contributes affirmatively to drought- and salt-stress tolerance in banana.
• MusaDHN-1, was identified and later characterized using transgenic banana plants to investigate its functions in abiotic stress tolerance.
• Expression profiling in native banana plants demonstrated that MusaDHN-1 was induced in leaves by drought, salinity, cold, oxidative and heavy metal stress as well as by treatment with signalling molecules like abscisic acid, ethylene and methyl jasmonate.
• Enhanced accumulation of proline and reduced malondialdehyde levels in drought and salt-stressed MusaDHN-1 overexpressing plants further established their superior performance in stressed conditions.
