| abstract |
The present invention relates to an abiotic stress tolerance-related EsHsp90.1 ( Elymus sibiricus L. Heat shock protein 90.1) protein or a gene encoding the same, and a method for enhancing tolerance to abiotic stress using the same. The EsHsp90.1 gene of the present invention increases expression in various abiotic stress environments such as high temperature, salt, starvation, or heavy metals. Therefore, the EsHsp90.1 gene can be used for molecular sowing of herbaceous plants and can be useful for the development of transformants having abiotic stress tolerance. |
