The AaNhaD gene from soda lake Alkalimonas amylolytica encodes a Na + /H + antiporter that plays a crucial role in the bacterium's resistance to salt/alkali stresses. Zhong et al. (pp. 412–421) reported that AaNhaD functions as a pH‐dependent tonoplast Na + /H + antiporter in plant cells and is able to enhance the salinity/alkalinity tolerance in transgenic tobacco BY‐2 cells and plants. The cover picture illustrates that AaNhaD proteins are located primarily in the vacuole membranes in a BY‐2 cell.
