A salt- and drought-responsive novel gene  SbSDR1  is predominantly localised to the nucleus, up-regulated under abiotic stresses and is involved in the regulation of metabolic processes.  Sb SDR1 showed DNA-binding activity to genomic DNA, microarray analysis revealed the upregulation of host stress-responsive genes and the results suggest that  Sb SDR1 acts as a transcription factor. Overexpression of  SbSDR1  did not affect the growth and yield of transgenic plants in non-stress conditions. Moreover, the overexpression of  SbSDR1  stimulates the growth of plants and enhances their physiological status by modulating the physiology and inhibiting the accumulation of reactive oxygen species under salt and osmotic stress. Transgenic plants that overexpressed  SbSDR1  had a higher relative water content, membrane integrity and concentration of proline and total soluble sugars, whereas they showed less electrolyte leakage and lipid peroxidation than wild type plants under stress conditions. In field conditions,  SbSDR1  plants recovered from stress-induced injuries and could complete their life cycle. This study suggests that  SbSDR1  functions as a molecular switch and contributes to salt and osmotic tolerance at different growth stages. Overall,  SbSDR1  is a potential candidate to be used for engineering salt and drought tolerance in crops without adverse effects on growth and yield.
