CsRAP2-7 negatively regulates cuticular wax biosynthesis and drought resistance in citrus by directly activating CsACO1
Cuticular wax plays an important role in enhancing plant stress tolerance. While positive regulators of cuticular wax biosynthesis are well-studied, negative regulators remain largely unexplored in citrus. In the present paper, we screened and cloned an AP2/ERF family gene, CsRAP2-7, from navel orange. This gene is localized to the nucleus and induced by drought and ABA treatments. Overexpression of CsRAP2-7 in lemon upregulates ethylene biosynthesis while concurrently inhibiting cuticular wax accumulation and reducing cuticular permeability, collectively leading to a marked decline in drought tolerance. CsRAP2-7 mediates its regulatory role by directly binding to the promoter of CsACO1, an ethylene biosynthetic gene, thereby activating its transcription. These results suggest that CsRAP2-7 play a negative role in regulating cuticular wax biosynthesis and drought resistance by directly mediating CsACO1 expression.
期刊介绍:
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
