Abstract
Saline-alkali stress has adverse effects on plant growth. Some plant Na+/H+ antiporters were reported to be important in salt tolerance. However, it needs to be better understood that Na+/H+ antiporters are involved in plant salt-alkali (NaHCO3/Na2CO3) tolerance. In this study, a Na+/H+ antiporter gene LcNHX1 (China patent No.200810050629.1) has been cloned from Leymus chinensis. The LcNHX1 CDS contains 1614 bp that encodes 537 amino acids. Amino acid and nucleotide sequence similarity, protein topology modelling, conserved functional domains in the protein sequence, and subcellular localization classified LcNHX1 as a vacuolar NHX1 homolog. Transcription analysis by quantitative RT-PCR indicated that upregulated expression of LcNHX1 could be induced by NaCl, NaHCO3, NaCl + NaHCO3, and PGE in L. chinensis seedlings. The expression of LcNHX1 partially complements the salt-sensitive phenotypes of a Δnhx1 yeast strain. In addition, LcNHX1 overexpressing enhanced the tolerance to NaHCO3 stress in the transgenic Arabidopsis. Taken together, these results indicated that LcNHX1 is a potential candidate gene for enhancing plant saline-alkali tolerance.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
