Salt tolerance in Solanum pennellii: antioxidant response and related QTL.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Sesquiterpene lactones are characteristic metabolites of Asteraceae (or Compositae) which often display potent bioactivities and are sequestered in specialized organs such as laticifers, resin ducts, and trichomes. For characterization of sunflower sesquiterpene synthases we employed a simple method to isola...
