Villins play important roles in plant growth and development, as well as stress tolerance. GhVLN4 is involved in multiple stress and hormone responses and signaling, enhancing resistance to Verticillium dahliae, salt, and drought. GhVLN4 may regulate plant tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses by upregulating components in various signaling pathways.
As structural and signaling platform in plant cell, the actin cytoskeleton is regulated by diverse actin binding proteins (ABPs). Villins are one type of major ABPs responsible for microfilament bundling, which have proved to play important roles in plant growth and development. However, the function of villins in stress tolerance is poorly understood. Here, we report the function of cotton GhVLN4 in Verticillium wilt resistance and abiotic stress tolerance. The expression of GhVLN4 was up-regulated by gibberellin, ethylene, ABA, salicylic acid, jasmonate, NaCl, PEG, and Verticillium dahliae treatment, suggesting the involvement of GhVLN4 in multiple stress and hormone responses and signaling. Virus-induced gene silencing GhVLN4 made cotton more susceptible to V. dahliae characterized by the preferential colonization and rapid growth of the fungus in both phloem and xylem of the infected stems. Arabidopsis overexpressing GhVLN4 exhibited higher resistance to V. dahliae, salt and drought than the wild-type plants. The enhanced resistance to V. dahliae is likely related to the upregulated components in SA signaling pathway; the improved tolerance to salt and drought is characterized by upregulation of the components both in ABA- related and ABA-independent signal pathways, along with altered stomatal aperture under drought. Our findings demonstrate that GhVLN4 may play important roles in regulating plant tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses.
