Trimeric tetrapeptide repeat protein TPR16 positively regulates salt stress in apple.

Plants are vulnerable to various abiotic stresses in the natural growing environment, among which salt stress can seriously affect plant growth, development and yield. Protein families containing trimeric tetrapeptide repeat sequences have a crucial function in plant resilience to non-living factors and participate in multiple aspects of plant growth and development. For this investigation, we acquired the apple MdTPR16 gene.
