A study of the effect of expression of the gene encoding the membrane H+-pyrophosphatase of Rhodospirillum rubrum on salt resistance of transgenic tobacco plants

Attempts to increase the salt resistance of plants by stimulating Na + release from the cytoplasm have been made only recently. Active transport of ions is governed by the H + concentration gradient, which is created by proton pumps, and proceeds via subsequent ion exchange (e.g., by the mechanism of H + /Na + antiporter). There are three types of protein pumps in plants that create the electrochemical potential gradient of H +
