摘要
GmERF6是从大豆中克隆到的一个新的ERF转录抑制子基因,对其功能作了进一步的分析。亚细胞定位试验结果显示GmERF6蛋白定位于细胞核中;利用原核表达纯化GmERF6蛋白并进行凝胶阻滞分析(EMSA),结果显示,GmERF6蛋白在体外可以与GCC-box元件特异结合;对GmERF6转基因拟南芥干旱条件下的种子萌发率和植株表型进行观察,结果证实GmERF6提高了转基因拟南芥的抗旱性,表明该基因可作为培育抗旱材料的候选基因。
GmERF6 is a new ERF transcription repressor isolated from soybean. The function of GmERF6 was further analyzed in this research. GmERF6 protein localized to the nucleus when transiently expressed in onion epidermal cells. Furthermore, EMSA showed GmERF6 protein binding to the GCC-box element in vitro . The seed germination rates of GmERF6 transgenic Arabidopsis were significantly higher than that of wild type Arabidopsis under drought stress. GmERF6 transgenic Arabidopsis grew much healthier than wild-type Arabidopsis by removing water for 18 d. These data indicated that GmERF6 enhanced drought tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis . These results suggest GmERF6 is likely to be a useful tool for improving drought tolerance of plants.
