Kahara Lana is a rain fed crop that grows under hot arid conditions of north western Rajasthan. It is widely known for growing in soils having high salt concentration. salt tolerance, not necessarily being a genetically modified crop here but definitively it does includes the inbuilt capacity of a crop to withstand the damaging effect of high salt concentrations. studies done in our laboratory has shown it's high salt tolerance level when being grown in test tubes at different salt concentrations. salt tolerance like other abiotic stresses is a complex trait involving differential regulation of various stress related transcripts especially those involved in maintenance osmotic and ionic homeostasis. one such system; owing to their high tolerance levels can be studied to understand the expression of genes inducing signalling cascade there by conferring salt stress tolerance.
