Agricultural productivity is severely affected by soil salillity. Past effOrts toinlprove plant tolerallce to osmotic stI'ess have llacl linlited sLlccess owillg to tllegelletic colllplexity of stress responses. IiS'I' (expressed seqtlencc tags) dataacculllulation f'l.onl stress-toIerant modeIs is a rclatively rapid alld cheaP wayfOr discovering new genes l.elated to osnlotic stresS.
