摘要
As a macronutrient,Phosphorus(P)takes many roles in plant growth and development.It should be significant to explore the molecular mechanism of low-phosphorus stress response of plants.Phosphate starvation response(PHR)transcription factors play important roles in response to phosphorus deficiency stress in plants.In this study,we isolated a gene related to the plant phosphorus signaling system from the acid-soil-resistant centipedegrass(Eremochloa ophiuroides[Munro]Hack.),termed EoPHR2.The subcellular localization of EoPHR2 protein was observed to be nuclear located.The expression patterns of EoPHR2 in different tissues and Al/Pi-stress conditions were analyzed by qRT-PCR,they suggested a potential role in response to the multiple-stress under acid soil adversity.Based on the functional identification through transgenic plants,we found that(1)EoPHR2 is involved in the Pi-signaling pathway,and(2)overexpression of EoPHR2 mimics Pi-starvation signalling resulting on enhanced roots whether under Pi-deficiency stress or not.In conclusion,EoPHR2 transcription factor plays a role in response to the multiple stresses under acid soil conditions,improving the low-phosphorus stress resistance of Eremochloa ophiuroides.
