摘要
以OsWRKY78基因及其相应的RNAi转基因水稻为研究对象,分析OsWRKY78转录因子响应盐胁迫的表达和功能,研究WRKY转录因子参与水稻耐盐的机制。结果表明:水稻OsWRKY78基因启动子中存在30多个与非生物胁迫相关的顺式调控元件。基因表达和GUS组织化学染色分析表明OsWRKY78的表达受盐诱导。抑制OsWRKY78基因表达可显著增强水稻在种子萌发和小苗生长阶段的耐盐性,一定程度上是通过调节OsLEA3、OsRAB21等与逆境相关基因的表达来实现的。
To study the mechanism of WRKY transcription factor involved in salt tolerance of rice, OsWRKY78 gene and its RNAi transgenic rice were used for analyzing the expression and functions of OsWRKY78 in response to salt stress. Sequence analysis indicated that more than thirty cis-elements related to abiotic stresses existed in OsWRKY78 promoter. Expression and GUS histochemical assays demonstrated that the transcription of OsWRKY78 was induced by salt. Moreover, repression of OsWRKY78 expression could enhance rice salt tolerance remarkably during seed germination and seedling stages, which might be partly because of the expression regulation of a number of stress-related genes, including OsLEA3 and OsRAB21.
