Saline stress is one of the primary factors limiting increased rice productivity in the southern region of Brazil. Farming can be affected by salinity that is due to both the origin of the soils as well as the irrigation water. Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) have many physiological functions, including in the response to saline stress. Therefore, the objective of this study was to quantify the relative expression of 11 genetic isoforms that encode LTP1-type proteins in rice genotypes tolerant and sensitive to saline stress in the vegetative period.
