abstract：:Glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins play an important role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, including RNA processing, and are known to be up-regulated in response to a number of external stimuli. However, their regulation in response to salinity stress has not been reported. We have isolated a ligh...
