Plant WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in abiotic stress responses. However, how WRKY facilitate physiological changes to confer salt tolerance still needs to be studied. Here, we identified a WRKY TF from birch (Betula platyphylla Suk), BpWRKY32, which is significantly (P < 0.05) induced by salt stress. BpWRKY32 binds to W-box motif and is located in the nucleus. Under salt stress conditions, fresh weights (FW) of OE lines (BpWRKY32 overexpression lines) are increased by 66.36% than that of WT, while FW of knockout of BpWRKY32 (bpwrky32) lines are reduced by 39.49% compared with WT. BpWRKY32 regulates the expression of BpRHC1, BpNRT1, and BpMYB61 to reduce stomatal, and width-length ratio of the stomatal aperture in OE lines are reduced by 46.23% and 64.72% compared with in WT and bpwrky32 lines. BpWRKY32 induces P5CS expression, but inhibits P5CDH expression, leading to the proline content in OE lines are increased by 33.41% and 97.58% compared with WT and bpwrky32 lines. Additionally, BpWRKY32 regulates genes encoding SOD and POD family members, which correspondingly increases the activities of SOD and POD. These results suggested that BpWRKY32 regulates target genes to reduce the water loss rate, enhance the osmotic potential, and reduce the ROS accumulation, leading to improved salt tolerance.
植物 WRKY 转录因子(TFs)在非生物胁迫响应中发挥重要作用。然而,WRKY 如何促进生理变化以赋予盐耐受性仍需要研究。在这里,我们从桦木(Betula platyphylla Suk)中鉴定出一个 WRKY TF,BpWRKY32,它受到盐胁迫的显著诱导(P < 0.05)。BpWRKY32 结合 W-box 基序并位于细胞核内。在盐胁迫条件下,OE 系(BpWRKY32 过表达系)的鲜重(FW)比 WT 增加了 66.36%,而 bpwrky32 敲除系(bpwrky32)的 FW 比 WT 减少了 39.49%。BpWRKY32 调节 BpRHC1、BpNRT1 和 BpMYB61 的表达,以减少气孔,OE 系的气孔开度的宽度-长度比比 WT 和 bpwrky32 系分别减少了 46.23%和 64.72%。BpWRKY32 诱导 P5CS 的表达,但抑制 P5CDH 的表达,导致 OE 系的脯氨酸含量比 WT 和 bpwrky32 系分别增加了 33.41%和 97.58%。此外,BpWRKY32 调节编码 SOD 和 POD 家族成员的基因,相应地增加了 SOD 和 POD 的活性。这些结果表明,BpWRKY32 通过调节靶基因来降低失水率,增强渗透势,并减少 ROS 积累,从而提高盐耐受性。
