In this study, a new 1R-MYB TF gene, FvMYB114, was obtained from Fragaria vesca and found to enhance the adaptability and tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana to salt and low temperature. FvMYB114 also promotes the expression of genes related to salt and cold stress, further improving the tolerance of transgenic plants.
The MYB (v-MYB avian myeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog) transcription factor (TF) family has numerous members with complex and diverse functions, which play an indispensable role in regulating the response of plants to stress. In this study, a new 1R-MYB TF gene was obtained from Fragaria vesca (a diploid strawberry) by cloning technology and given a new name, FvMYB114. According to the subcellular localization results, FvMYB114 protein was a nuclear localization protein. Overexpression of FvMYB114 greatly enhanced the adaptability and tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana to salt and low temperature. Under salt and cold stress, the transgenic plants had greater proline and chlorophyll contents and higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) than the wild-type (WT) and unloaded-line (UL) A. thaliana. However, malondialdehyde (MDA) was higher in the WT and UL lines. These results suggested that FvMYB114 may be involved in regulating the response of A. thaliana to salt stress and cold stress. FvMYB114 can also promote the expression of genes, such as the genes AtSOS1/3, AtNHX1 and AtLEA3 related to salt stress and the genes AtCCA1, AtCOR4 and AtCBF1/3 related to cold stress, further improving the tolerance of transgenic plants to salt and cold stress.
