Abstract
Tomato is a leading vegetable in modern agriculture, and with global warming, drought has become an important factor threatening tomato production. Mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 (MAPK3) plays an important role in plant disease and stress resistance. To clarify the downstream target proteins of SlMAPK3 and the mechanism of stress resistance in tomato, this study was conducted with the SlMAPK3-overexpressing lines OE-1 and OE-2 and the CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutant lines slmapk3-1 and slmapk3-2 under PEG 6000-simulated drought. The results of yeast two-hybrid (Y2H), pull-down, and coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays confirmed that SlASR4 (NP_001269248.1) interacted with SlMAPK3. Analyses of the SlASR4 protein structure and SlASR4 expression under PEG 6000 and BTH stress revealed that SlASR4 has a highly conserved protein structural domain involved in the drought stress response under PEG 6000 treatment. The function of the SlASR4 and SlMAPK3 downstream target protein, in drought resistance in tomato plants, was identified by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). This study clarified that SlMAPK3 interacts with SlASR4 to positively regulate drought resistance in tomato plants.
期刊介绍：
Molecular Breeding is an international journal publishing papers on applications of plant molecular biology, i.e., research most likely leading to practical applications. The practical applications might relate to the Developing as well as the industrialised World and have demonstrable benefits for the seed industry, farmers, processing industry, the environment and the consumer.
All papers published should contribute to the understanding and progress of modern plant breeding, encompassing the scientific disciplines of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, pathology, plant breeding, and ecology among others.
Molecular Breeding welcomes the following categories of papers: full papers, short communications, papers describing novel methods and review papers. All submission will be subject to peer review ensuring the highest possible scientific quality standards.
Molecular Breeding core areas:
Molecular Breeding will consider manuscripts describing contemporary methods of molecular genetics and genomic analysis, structural and functional genomics in crops, proteomics and metabolic profiling, abiotic stress and field evaluation of transgenic crops containing particular traits. Manuscripts on marker assisted breeding are also of major interest, in particular novel approaches and new results of marker assisted breeding, QTL cloning, integration of conventional and marker assisted breeding, and QTL studies in crop plants.
