High salinity is an environmental factor that inhibits plant growth and development, leading to large losses in crop yields.
We report here that mutations in SIZ1 or PHO2, which cause more accumulation of phosphate compared with the wild type, enhance tolerance to salt stress. The siz1 and pho2 mutations reduce the uptake and accumulation of Na+. These mutations are also able to suppress the Na+ hypersensitivity of the sos3-1 mutant, and genetic analyses suggest that SIZ1 and SOS3 or PHO2 and SOS3 have an additive effect on the response to salt stress. Furthermore, the siz1 mutation cannot suppress the Li+ hypersensitivity of the sos3-1 mutant. These results indicate that the phosphate-accumulating mutants siz1 and pho2 reduce the uptake and accumulation of Na+, leading to enhanced salt tolerance, and that, genetically, SIZ1 and PHO2 are likely independent of SOS3-dependent salt signaling. 相似文献

AtCPK23 functions in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Arabidopsis</Emphasis> responses to drought and salt stresses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are unique serine/threonine kinases in plants and there are 34 CDPKs in Arabidopsis genome alone. Although several CDPKs have been demonstrated to be critical calcium signaling mediators for plant responses
to various environmental stresses, the biological functions of most CDPKs in stress signaling remain unclear. In this study,
we provide the evidences to demonstrate that AtCPK23 plays important role in Arabidopsis responses to drought and salt stresses. The cpk23 mutant, a T-DNA insertion mutant for AtCPK23 gene, showed greatly enhanced tolerance to drought and salt stresses, while the AtCPK23 overexpression lines became more sensitive to drought and salt stresses and the complementary line of the cpk23 mutant displayed similar phenotype as wild-type plants. The results of stomatal aperture measurement showed that the disruption
of AtCPK23 expression reduced stomatal apertures, while overexpression of AtCPK23 increased stomatal apertures. The alteration of stomatal apertures by changes in AtCPK23 expression may account, at least in partial, for the modified Arabidopsis response to drought stress. In consistent with the enhanced salt-tolerance by disruption of AtCPK23 expression, K+ content in the cpk23 mutant was not reduced under high NaCl stress compared with wild-type plants, which indicates that the AtCPK23 may also regulate
plant K+-uptake. The possible mechanisms by which AtCPK23 mediates drought and salt stresses signaling are discussed. 相似文献

Auxin receptors TIR1/AFBs play an essential role in a series of signaling network cascades. These F-box proteins have also been identified to participate in different stress responses via the auxin signaling pathway in Arabidopsis. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide, which is also a model plant for research. In the study herein, two cucumber homologous auxin receptor F-box genes CsTIR and CsAFB were cloned and studied for the first time. The deduced amino acid sequences showed a 78% identity between CsTIR and AtTIR1 and 76% between CsAFB and AtAFB2. All these proteins share similar characteristics of an F-box domain near the N-terminus, and several Leucine-rich repeat regions in the middle. Arabidopsis plants ectopically overexpressing CsTIR or CsAFB were obtained and verified. Shorter primary roots and more lateral roots were found in these transgenic lines with auxin signaling amplified. Results showed that expression of CsTIR/AFB genes in Arabidopsis could lead to higher seeds germination rates and plant survival rates than wild-type under salt stress. The enhanced salt tolerance in transgenic plants is probably caused by maintaining root growth and controlling water loss in seedlings, and by stabilizing life-sustaining substances as well as accumulating endogenous osmoregulation substances. We proposed that CsTIR/AFB-involved auxin signal regulation might trigger auxin mediated stress adaptation response and enhance the plant salt stress resistance by osmoregulation. 相似文献

The effect of hydrogen peroxide treatment on the salt tolerance of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana L. plants (Col-0) and plants transformed with the bacterial salicylate hydroxylase gene (NahG) was studied. The base tolerance to salt stress caused by 200 mM of NaCl in solution culture was higher in plants with the NahG genotype in comparison with the wild-type plants. Growth inhibition was observed for wild-type plants under the action of exogenous hydrogen peroxide, which was not observed for the NahG transformants; salt tolerance increased in the both types of plants after treatment, which was assessed based on the growth indicators and the ability to preserve the chlorophyll pool following NaCl treatment. The content of endogenous Н2О2 in the leaves of wild-type plants increased significantly following exogenous hydrogen peroxide treatment and salt stress, while it practically did not change in the leaves of the NahG genotype. The SOD activity increased in both genotypes after treatment with exogenous hydrogen peroxide, and remained at an elevated level after salt stress in comparison with the nontreated plants. Furthermore, the catalase activity increased in leaves of the salicylate-deficient genotype but not in the Col-0 genotype. The guaiacol peroxidase activity increased in plants of both genotypes under the action of hydrogen peroxide and salt stress, with the NahG plants demonstrating a higher degree of increase. The Н2О2 treatment facilitated the increase of the proline content in leaves of the plants of both genotypes under conditions of salt stress. It was concluded that there were hydrogen peroxide signal transduction pathways in Arabidopsis plants that were salicylic acid independent and that the antioxidant system functioned more effectively in salicylate-deficient Arabidopsis plants. 相似文献

SnRK2s are a large family of plant-specific protein kinases, which play important roles in multiple abiotic stress responses in various plant species. But the family in Gossypium has not been well studied. Here, we identified 13, 10, and 13 members of the SnRK2 family from Gossypium raimondii, Gossypium arboreum, and Gossypium hirsutum, respectively, and analyzed the locations of SnRK2 homologs in chromosomes based on genome data of cotton species. Phylogenetic tree analysis of SnRK2 proteins showed that these families were classified into three groups. All SnRK2 genes were comprised of nine exons and eight introns, and the exon distributions and the intron phase of homolog genes among different cotton species were analogous. Moreover, GhSnRK2.6 was overexpressed in Arabidopsis and upland cotton, respectively. Under salt treatment, overexpressed Arabidopsis could maintain higher biomass accumulation than wild-type plants, and GhSnRK2.6 overexpression in cotton exhibited higher germination rate than the control. So, the gene GhSnRK2.6 could be utilized in cotton breeding for salt tolerance. 相似文献

On the basis of the results of gene chip analysis of the salt-tolerant wheat mutant RH8706-49 under conditions of salt stress,
we identified and cloned an unknown salt-induced gene TaST (Triticum aestivum salt-tolerant). Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that the expression of the gene was induced by salt stress. Transgenic
Arabidopsis plants overexpressing the TaST gene showed higher salt tolerance than the wild-type controls. Subcellular localization studies revealed that the protein
encoded by this gene was in the nucleus. In comparison with wild-type controls, transgenic Arabidopsis plants accumulated more Ca2+, soluble sugar, and proline and less Na+ under salt stress. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that Arabidopsis plants overexpressing TaST also showed increased expression of many stress-related genes. All these findings indicated that TaST can enhance the salt tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis plants. 相似文献

To get insight into mechanism by which apple tree (Malus domestica Borkh.) regulates flowering, two apple flowering locus T (FT) homologues, MdFT1 and MdFT2, were isolated from the leaf cDNAs of cultivar Gala. The open reading frames (ORFs) of two MdFTs encoded 174 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of MdFT1 and MdFT2 showed 94.3 % similarity to each other, while 72.6 and 76.0 % to AtFT protein, respectively. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR indicated
their specific expression in leaves. Visualization of MdFT2-GFP fusion protein demonstrated its localization on membrane.
Ectopic overexpression of either MdFT1 or MdFT2 in Arabidopsis significantly induced early flowering by activating the downstream flowering-related genes. 相似文献

ALBINO3, a homologue of PPF1 in Arabidopsis, encodes a chloroplast protein, and is essential for chloroplast differentiation. In the present study, ALBINO3(−) transgenic plants exhibited a significant decrease in both the number of rosette leaves at bolting and the days before bolting,
suggesting the important roles of ALBINO3 in regulating flowering during non-inductive short-day photoperiods. ALBINO3 mRNA was apparently accumulated in shoot apical meristem and floral meristems around the shoot apical meristem in wild-type
plants. ALBINO3 might be predominantly involved in inducing the floral repression pathway by activating the expression of TFL1, and by suppressing the expression of LFY, respectively, in the shoot apical meristem. Moreover, the function of ALBINO3 in regulating flowering transition depended on the expression of CO and GA1, because ALBINO3 might function in the downstream integration of the photoperiod-dependent and the photoperiod-independent pathways. These
results suggest that ALBINO3 may have an important integrative function in the flowering process in Arabidopsis. 相似文献

Studying Pneumocystis has proven to be a challenge from the perspective of propagating a significant amount of the pathogen in a facile manner.
The study of several fungal pathogens has been aided by the use of invertebrate model hosts. Our efforts to infect the invertebrate
larvae Galleria
mellonella with Pneumocystis proved futile since P. murina neither caused disease nor was able to proliferate within G. mellonella. It did, however, show that the pathogen could be rapidly cleared from the host. 相似文献

Two repeated DNA sequences isolated from a partial genomic DNA library of Helianthus annuus, p HaS13 and p HaS211, were shown to represent portions of the int gene of a Ty3 /gypsy retroelement and of the RNase-Hgene of a Ty1 /copia retroelement, respectively. Southern blotting patterns obtained by hybridizing the two probes to BglII- or DraI-digested genomic DNA from different Helianthus species showed p HaS13 and p HaS211 were parts of dispersed repeats at least 8 and 7 kb in length, respectively, that were conserved in all species studied. Comparable hybridization patterns were obtained in all species with p HaS13. By contrast, the patterns obtained by hybridizing p HaS211 clearly differentiated annual species from perennials. The frequencies of p HaS13- and p HaS211-related sequences in different species were 4.3x10(4)-1.3x10(5) copies and 9.9x10(2)-8.1x10(3) copies per picogram of DNA, respectively. The frequency of p HaS13-related sequences varied widely within annual species, while no significant difference was observed among perennial species. Conversely, the frequency variation of p HaS211-related sequences was as large within annual species as within perennials. Sequences of both families were found to be dispersed along the length of all chromosomes in all species studied. However, Ty3 /gypsy-like sequences were localized preferentially at the centromeric regions, whereas Ty1/ copia-like sequences were less represented or absent around the centromeres and plentiful at the chromosome ends. These findings suggest that the two sequence families played a role in Helianthusgenome evolution and species divergence, evolved independently in the same genomic backgrounds and in annual or perennial species, and acquired different possible functions in the host genomes. 相似文献
