Based on our microarray-analysis results of the salt tolerant wheat mutant, RH8706-49, an unknown salt-induced gene containing a conserved DUF662 domain was identified and cloned; we named this gene TaSRG (Triticum aestivum Salt Response Gene). Real-time quantitative PCR analyses showed that the expression of this gene was affected by salt, drought, cold, ABA and other stress conditions. The overexpression of TaSRG in wild-type Arabidopsis resulted in increased salt tolerance compared with wild-type plants. In addition, subcellular localisation revealed that TaSRG encodes a protein that was found mainly in the nucleus. Our results suggest that wheat TaSRG might encode a transcription factor that could be utilised for enhancing stress tolerance in a wide range of plants.
基于我们对耐盐小麦突变体 RH8706-49 的基因芯片分析结果,鉴定并克隆了一个含有保守 DUF662 结构域的未知盐诱导基因;我们将这个基因命名为 TaSRG(小麦盐反应基因)。实时定量 PCR 分析表明,该基因的表达受盐、干旱、寒冷、ABA 和其他胁迫条件的影响。在野生型拟南芥中过表达 TaSRG 可提高其耐盐性,与野生型植株相比。此外,亚细胞定位表明 TaSRG 编码的蛋白主要存在于细胞核中。我们的研究结果表明,小麦 TaSRG 可能编码一种转录因子,可用于提高多种植物的胁迫耐受性。
