de novo transcriptomic profiling of differentially expressed genes in grass halophyte Urochondra setulosa under high salinity

Abstract Soil salinity is one of the major limiting factors for crop productivity across the world. Halophytes have recently been a source of attraction for exploring the survival and tolerance mechanisms at extreme saline conditions. Urochondra setulosa is one of the obligate grass halophyte that c...
