Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaVB
• Gene Name: vacuolar H+-ATPases (V-ATPase) subunit B
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Wheat vacuolar H+-ATPases (V-ATPase) subunit B, named TaVB, was isolated from the salt-tolerant wheat RH8706-49 and used to transform Arabidopsis plants.
• TaVB-expressed Arabidopsis has a higher germination rate, root length, V–H+-ATPase activity, and overall salt tolerance than the wild type, indicating that expression of the gene can affect salt tolerance of the transgenic plants.
• These results suggest that expression of the wheat TaVB gene may enhance plant tolerance to salt stress.
