Natural variation of an EF-hand Ca2+-binding-protein coding gene confers saline-alkaline tolerance in maize

Saline-alkaline stress affects worldwide crops production, but the tolerance mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Here, the authors show that EF-hand Ca2 + -binding-protein coding gene ZmNSA1 can regulate root H + efflux, Na + homeostasis, and saline-alkaline tolerance in maize.
