Abstract In arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, appropriate regulation of the formation, maintenance, and degeneration arbuscule are essential for plants fungi. this study, we identified a Cysteine-2/Histidine-2 zinc finger protein (C2H2-ZFP)-encoding gene in Lotus japonicus named Regulator Symbiosome Differentiation-Like (LjRSDL) that is required degeneration. Evolutionary analysis showed homologs LjRSDL exist flowering plants. We obtained ProLjRSDL::GUS transgenic hairy roots was...
Drought stress often affects crop growth and even causes death, while aquaporins can maintain osmotic balance by transporting water across membranes, so it is important to study how improve drought tolerance of crops using aquaporins. In this work, we characterize a set subfamily members named NIPs belonging the family in Lotus japonicus, grouping 14 according sequence similarity aromatic/arginine (Ar/R) region. Among these members, LjNIP1;5 one genes with highest expression roots induced AM...
