1. A plant cell transformed with an exogenous nucleic acid, said exogenous nucleic acid comprising a heterologous promoter operably linked to a nucleotide sequence comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide, wherein said polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence having 95 percent or greater sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:45, and wherein overexpression of said polypeptide in a transformed plant grown from said transformed plant cell has an increased level of tolerance to salinity or oxidative stress as compared to the corresponding level of tolerance to salinity or oxidative stress of a control plant of the same species cultivated under the same conditions that does not comprise said exogenous nucleic acid.
