| Abstract | The SbNHX1 gene encodes a vacuolar Na$^{+}$/H$^{+}$ antiporter that involved in the maintenance of ion homeostasis and compartmentalization of excess Na$^{+}$ or K$^{+}$ ions into the vacuole. Transgenic castor plants were developed by an improved method of Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation using spermidine (1 mM) along with acetosyringone (200 μM), which enhanced the transformation efficiency about twofolds from 2.76 to 5.91 %. Transgenic plants were confirmed by PCR using gene (SbNHX1, hptII and gus) specific primers. The single gene integration event was confirmed by RTqPCR and Southern hybridization. Transgenic lines CL7 and CL13 showed high expression of the SbNHX1 gene compared to CL6 and CL12, therefore selected for physio-biochemical analyses, which were carried out under varying NaCl concentrations. Higher chlorophyll, RWC, K$^{+}$ content, K$^{+}$/Na$^{+}$ ratio and lower electrolytic leakage, proline, MDA, Na$^{+}$ contents compared to WT confirmed that ectopic expression of the SbNHX1 gene enhances salt tolerance of transgenic plants by modulating physiological process under stress condition. Though transgenic lines were affected under stress conditions but performed better compared to WT plants. The present study is the first report of engineering salt tolerance in castor, so far. Transgenic castor may be utilized for the cultivation in marginal salty land and thus open up the possibility of releasing arable land, which is presently under castor cultivation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
