Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Potri.018G130500.3
• Gene Symbol: PtSOS2
• Gene Name: salt overly sensitive
• Genome: poplar genome database (http://www.phytozome.net/poplar)
• Species: Populus davidiana × Populus bolleana

Functional Descriptions:

• Overexpression of the PtSOS2 gene improves tolerance to salt stress in transgenic poplar plants.
• Compared to the wild-type control, transgenic plants constitutively expressing PtSOS2TD exhibited more vigorous growth and produced greater biomass in the presence of high concentrations of NaCl.
• Poplar calcineurin B-like proteins PtCBL10A and PtCBL10B regulate shoot salt tolerance through interaction with PtSOS2 in the vacuolar membrane.
• Taken together, our results suggest that PtSOS2 could serve as an ideal target gene to genetically engineer salt-tolerant trees.
