cDNA encoding betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) from the halophyteSuaeda liaotungensishas been cloned, sequenced and expressed in tobacco (Nictiana tabacum89). The full-length cDNA is 1506 base pairs (bp) long and encodes a 502 amino-acid polypeptide. The cDNA fragment coding for the mature enzyme was cloned into vector pCAMBIA-1301 for expression in tobacco. Southern blotting analysis showed that that theBadhgene was integrated into the genome of tobacco. Tobacco expressing BADH survived on MS medium containing 200 mM NaCl, whereas the untransformed plants turned yellow after about 20 d and died.
