AVP1
This is a vacuolar H+-pyrophosphatase of Arabidopsis thaliana. This protein functions as a proton pump on the vacuolar membrane. Several papers have found that overexpression of AVP1 increases the salt tolerance of some plants such as tomato, rice and cotton. Experiments carried out on transgenic plants showed that as the AVP1 expression level increased the accumulation and retention of solutes was higher than that of the wild type.
