High salinity and drought are the major abiotic stresses that adversely affect plant growth and agricultural productivity. To investigate genes that are involved in response to abiotic stresses in Brassica napus, a comprehensive survey of genes induced by high-salinity and drought stresses was done by macroarray analysis. In total, 536 clones were identified to be putative high-salinity- or drought-responsive genes. Among them, 172 and 288 clones are detected to be putative high-salinity- and drought-inducible genes, whereas 141 and 189 are candidates for high-salinity- and drought-suppressed ...
