Abstract As one of the most toxic heavy metals in environment, cadmium (Cd) poses a severe threat to plant growth. We previously reported that overexpression Tamarix hispida V-ATPase c subunit ( ThVHAc1 ) improved Cd tolerance Saccharomyces cerevisiae . In current study, we further explored conferred by Arabidopsis and T. transgenic had higher seed germination, biomass chlorophyll content under CdCl 2 treatment. Cd-stressed plants, significantly activity affected expression other...
The MYB transcription factors (TFs) is a plant TF families, which involves in hormone signal transduction, and abiotic stress tolerance, etc. However, there are few studies on the TFs family its regulatory mechanism Tamarix hispida. In this study, 14 genes (named ThMYB1 - ThMYB14) were cloned characterized from T. profiles of ThMYBs hispida under different conditions monitored using qRT-PCR. Most studied significantly downregulated and/or upregulated by salt osmotic stress, ABA, GA3 JA...
Abstract Teosinte branched 1/Cycloidea/Proliferating cell factor (TCP) transcription factors function in abiotic stress responses. However, how TCPs confer salt tolerance is unclear. Here, we characterized a TCP factor, BpTCP20, that responds to birch (Betula platyphylla Suk). Plants overexpressing BpTCP20 displayed increased tolerance, and Bptcp20 knockout mutants reduced relative the wild-type (WT) birch. conferred by mediating stomatal closure reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS)...
Abstract Although many genes and biological processes involved in abiotic stress responses have been identified, how they are regulated remains largely unclear. Here, to study the regulatory mechanism of birch (Betula platyphylla) responding drought induced by polyethylene glycol 6000 (20%, w/v), a partial correlation coefficient-based algorithm for constructing gene network (GRN) was proposed, three-layer hierarchical GRN constructed, including 68 transcription factors 252 structural genes....
Abstract Salt stress is a common abiotic factor that restricts plant growth and development. As halophyte, Tamarix hispida good model for exploring salt-tolerance genes regulatory mechanisms. DNA-binding with one finger (DOF) an important transcription (TF) influences controls various signaling substances involved in diverse biological processes related to development, but the mechanisms of DOF TFs response salt are largely unknown T. hispida. In present study, newly identified Dof gene,...
The NAC transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in mediating abiotic stress tolerance; however, the mechanism is still not fully known. Here, an gene (BpNAC90) from a regulatory network of Betula platyphylla (birch) that responded to drought was characterized. Overexpression and knockout BpNAC90 displayed increased reduced tolerance, respectively, relative wild-type (WT) birch. binds different DNA motifs regulate target genes conferring such as Eomes2, ABRE Tgif2. phosphorylated by...
The increasing intensity, frequency, and duration of drought pose a threat to the survival some tree species worldwide, directly damaging carbon sequestration capacity forest ecosystems. Understanding response mechanisms trees stress is particularly important. In this study, regulatory network in Betula platyphylla (birch) was established by observing changes root transcriptome at different time points (0, 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 h), potential drought-resistant WRKY53 transcription factor...
Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) genes were confirmed to confer resistance drought and water deficiency. An LEA gene from Tamarix androssowii (named TaLEA) was transformed into Xiaohei poplar (Populus simonii × P. nigra) via Agrobacterium. Twenty-five independent transgenic lines obtained that resistant kanamycin, 11 randomly selected for further analysis. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ribonucleic acid (RNA) gel blot indicated the TaLEA had been integrated genome. height growth rate,...
The salt overly sensitive (SOS) signal transduction pathway is one of the most highly studied tolerance pathways in plants. However, molecular mechanism stress response Tamarix hispida has remained largely unclear. In this study, five SOS genes ( ThSOS1 – ThSOS5 ) from T. were cloned and characterized. expression levels ThSOS significantly changed after NaCl, PEG 6000 , abscisic acid (ABA) treatment at least organ. Notably, ThSOS3 was downregulated 6 h under stress. To further analyze...
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1A (eIF1A) functions as an mRNA scanner and AUG codon locator. However, few studies have clarified the role of eIF1A in abiotic stress. In this study, we cloned (TheIF1A) from Tamarix hispida found its expression to be induced by NaCl polyethylene glycol (PEG) roots, stems leaves. Compared a control, TheIF1A root was increased 187.63-fold when exposed for 6 h, suggesting potential stress response gene. Furthermore, transgenic tobacco plants...
