Schematic illustration of the underlying principle of the functional genetic screen. Identification and isolation of J. curcas genes conferring resistance to abiotic stress in S. cerevisiae. In panel (A) growth of S. cerevisiae colonies under abiotic stress conditions acquired due to heterologous gene expression was represented. In panel (B) transformation and screening of J. curcas root cDNA library in S. cerevisiae for ability to survive stress using inducible promoter was represented.
