ASR1, a stress-induced tomato protein, protects yeast from osmotic stress

Asr1, a tomato gene induced by abiotic stress, belongs to a family, composed by at least three members, involved in adaptation to dry climates. To understand the mechanism by which proteins of this family seem to protect cells from water loss in plants, we expressed Asr1 in the heterologous expressi...
