Overexpression of the aldehyde dehydrogenase AhALDH3H1 from Arachis hypogaea in soybean increases saline-alkali stress tolerance [PDF]
Soybean production is severely hampered by saline-alkaline stress caused by saline-alkalization. Plants have aldehydrogenase (ALDH) family members that convert reactive aldehydes to carboxylic acids to remove active aldehyde molecules. However, little is
