Abstract
Salt stress is an important abiotic stress factor affecting crop production and plant geographical distribution. Salt stress negatively impacts molecular, biochemical, and physiological processes in cotton, resulting in inhibition of plant growth and development and, in severe cases, plant death. In this experiment, the CrSMT gene isolated from the unicellular eukaryote Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was overexpressed in cotton R15. Two transgenic lines, L17 and L25, were obtained. Treated with 200 mM NaCl experiments showed that the CrSMT-transgenic cotton had enhanced tolerance to salt stress. RNA-seq analysis revealed that CrSMT overexpression in cotton resulted in the synthesis of a large number of secondary metabolites responsive to salt stress. Correlation analysis between the wild type and the transgenic lines revealed that CrSMT overexpression did not affect the growth, agronomic traits, and fiber quality of cotton. The function of CrSMT holds potential to improve plant tolerance of abiotic stress factors.
期刊介绍:
The journal Plant Stress deals with plant (or other photoautotrophs, such as algae, cyanobacteria and lichens) responses to abiotic and biotic stress factors that can result in limited growth and productivity. Such responses can be analyzed and described at a physiological, biochemical and molecular level. Experimental approaches/technologies aiming to improve growth and productivity with a potential for downstream validation under stress conditions will also be considered. Both fundamental and applied research manuscripts are welcome, provided that clear mechanistic hypotheses are made and descriptive approaches are avoided. In addition, high-quality review articles will also be considered, provided they follow a critical approach and stimulate thought for future research avenues.
Plant Stress welcomes high-quality manuscripts related (but not limited) to interactions between plants and:
Lack of water (drought) and excess (flooding),
Salinity stress,
Elevated temperature and/or low temperature (chilling and freezing),
Hypoxia and/or anoxia,
Mineral nutrient excess and/or deficiency,
Heavy metals and/or metalloids,
Plant priming (chemical, biological, physiological, nanomaterial, biostimulant) approaches for improved stress protection,
Viral, phytoplasma, bacterial and fungal plant-pathogen interactions.
The journal welcomes basic and applied research articles, as well as review articles and short communications. All submitted manuscripts will be subject to a thorough peer-reviewing process.
