GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Our findings may strengthen the understanding of the molecular function of RCI2A in cold-stress tolerance. RCI2A could be used to improve abiotic stress tolerance in agronomic crops
    Title: Ectopic expression of Arabidopsis RCI2A gene contributes to cold tolerance in tomato.
  2. The expression of multiple RCI2a mutants in responset to ABA, DNA or NaCl, low temperature, or the stress induced expressio nof RD29A is reported.
    Title: Arabidopsis mutants deregulated in RCI2A expression reveal new signaling pathways in abiotic stress responses.
  3. results suggest that RCI2A plays a role directly or indirectly for avoiding over-accumulation of excess Na+ and K+ ions in plants, and contributes to salt tolerance
    Title: Disruption of RCI2A leads to over-accumulation of Na+ and increased salt sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana plants.
