  Shanghai, China My master’s research project aimed to identity the coding sequence of an ion channel in chrysanthemum and explore its potential role in salt intolerance. Highlights: - Identified and characterized a novel gene encoding Na+/H+ antiporter from chrysanthemum (DmNHX1, GeneBank: EF396235.2) - Obtained a patent (CN101323855) for the application of DmNHX1 in enhancing salt tolerance, recognizing its potential as a valuable tool in plant breeding and cultivation
