Abstract
ABSTRACT Lilium pumilum DC (L. pumilum DC) plays an important role in the rational utilization of salinized soil. To explore the molecular mechanism of salt-tolerant L. pumilum, the LpMYB4 was cloned. LpMYB4 close relationship with Bambusa emeiensis and Zea mays MYB4 throughout the phylogenetic tree construction. LpMYB4 protein was found to be localized in the nucleus. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic bacterial solution resistance experiments proved that the exogenous introduction of LpMYB4 made the overexpression strains obtain better survival ability under saline-alkaline stress. Compared with wild-type plants, tobacco plants overexpressing LpMYB4 had better growth and lower leaf wilting and lodging, the content of chlorophyll was higher, the content of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion was lower, the activity of peroxidase and superoxide dismutase was higher and the relative conductivity was lower under saline-alkaline stress. The analysis of seed germination and seedling resistance of transgenic plants under salt stress showed that LpMYB4 transgenic seeds were more tolerant to salt stress during germination and growth. Yeast two-hybrid and two-luciferase complementation experiments showed that LpMYB4 interacted with yeast two-hybrid and LpGPX6. The analysis of the role of LpMYB4 in improving plant saline-alkali resistance is helpful to the transformation of plant germplasm resources and has great significance for agriculture and sustainable development.
