The analysis

The retrieved papers include direct experimental evidence of animal and human genes (such as the human HIOMT gene) being heterologously expressed in plants, resulting in functional protein production and phenotypic changes like enhanced salt tolerance. Therefore, the claim is fully supported by the evidence.

An animal-type Na+/K+-ATPase, PhNKA2, is involved in the salt tolerance of the intertidal macroalga Pyropia haitanensis
2025 · cited by 2
The research details the cloning and heterologous expression of an animal-type Na+/K+-ATPase gene from an alga, which successfully enhanced salt tolerance and ion transport.
