Pokkali rice root response upon F. pokkalii L1I52T colonization under tested seawater condition
Oryza sativa Japonica Group
The study identifies gene-expression of salt-tolerant rice variety, Pokkali upon colonization by a native strain, Flavobacterium pokkalii L1I52T under tested seawater conditions. Results revealed that F. pokkalii L1I52T has the ability to modulate the host gene expression which might be important for the host fitness under tested seawater condition.
