Key Findings
- Researchers studied the Snf2 gene family in six Brassica species to understand their role in salt stress response
- They identified 405 Snf2 genes, classified into six clades and 18 subfamilies, showing minimal changes during genome doubling
- The expression of BnaSnf2 genes increased under salt stress, indicating their role in helping Brassica species tolerate salty conditions
