Quinoa’s stress resistance linked to 10 key genes

In a recent study published in the journal Genes, our team has identified and characterized 10 sodium/hydrogen antiporter (NHX) genes from the quinoa genome that play crucial roles in this remarkable crop’s ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. This discovery provides significant insights into why quinoa can thrive in conditions that would devastate most other food crops. In a recent study published in the journal Genes, our team has identified and characterized 10 sodium/hydrogen antiporter (NHX) genes from the quinoa genome that play crucial roles in this remarkable crop’s ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
