An oligonucleotide encoding a plant gene capable of controlling ethylene synthesis, comprising an oligonucleotide encoding an amino acid sequence from position 1 (Met) to 405 (Gln) of SEQ ID NO. 2 in SEQUENCE LISTING, or an oligonucleotide encoding a second amino acid sequence having one or several amino acid deletions, substitutions, or additions in the amino acid sequence.

Gene controlling ethylene synthesis

A gene encoding a protein capable of controlling salt stress tolerance is provided. A polynucleotide encoding a plant gene capable of controlling salt stress tolerance is provided. The polynucleotide includes a polynucleotide which has a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence from methionine at position 1 to asparagine at position 243 of SEQ ID NO: 2 in the sequence listing, or which has a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence having one or several amino acid deletions, substitutions and/or additions and is capable of controlling salt stress tolerance.
