Constitutive and salt-inducible expression of SlBADH gene in transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Micro-Tom) enhances salt tolerance

► SlBADH gene, cloned from Suaeda liaotungensis, was transformed into tomato. ► Expression of SlBADH in the P5:BADH transgenic plants exhibited salt induced. ► The SlBADH enhanced salt tolerance of P5:BADH and CaMV35S:BADH transformants. ► SlBADH in P5:BADH plants did not affect the growth of transformants.
