The phrase "enhances tolerance" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It means to increase or improve the ability to accept or endure something, especially differences of opinion or behavior. Example: The program aims to enhance tolerance and promote understanding between different cultural groups.
For example, the increase in α-linolenic acid (18 3, LA) levels in Nicotiana tabacum cells due to the overexpression of the ω-3 fatty acid desaturases FAD3 and FAD7 enhances tolerance to drought stress [ 77], whereas non-tolerant plants decline their fraction of 18 3 [ 78].
Previous studies have reported that overexpression of CaM enhances tolerance to stress, including resistance to salt, heat, cold, drought and plant pathogens.
OsSAP1 enhances tolerance to pathogen infection (Tyagi et al. 2014).
In plants, hydrogen gas (H2) enhances tolerance to several abiotic stresses, including salinity and heavy metals.
Consistent with their up-regulated expression patterns, heterogeneous overexpression of Os03g16030 in Arabidopsis enhances tolerance to salt and cadmium stresses (Cui et al. 2013; Ham et al. 2013).
This gene is also involved in desiccation and salt stress responses in the rice variety N22 (Shankar et al., 2016) and overexpression of OsWRKY71 in rice enhances tolerance to cold (Kim et al., 2016) and resistance to Xanthomonas (Liu, Bai, Wang, and Chu, 2007; Berri et al., 2009; Chujo et al., 2013).
When multiple extracts were tested for their ability to enhance cold tolerance in maize only extracts rich in Zn and Mn were able to enhance tolerance through enhanced ROS responses.
Consequently, plants that are highly drought tolerant are often expected also to have enhanced tolerance to salinity.
Based on CFU recovery, EPS-enmeshed C. albicans exhibited enhanced tolerance to fluconazole compared to uncoated C. albicans (Fig. 5c).
In particular, the reproductive organs of GB-accumulating transgenic plants exhibit enhanced tolerance to abiotic stress.
Therefore, a major goal for industrial microbiology is to increase production by enhancing tolerance phenotypes.
