General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | overexpression of LcSAMT gene markedly enhances the methylsalicylate (MeSA) content and reduces the accumulation of salicylate (SA) in transgenic tobacco plants, the conversion of MeSA from SA leads to the depletion of the free SA pool. Overexpression of LcSAMT gene in tobacco significantly increases sensitivity of transgenic plants to drought stress, probably due to the decreased SA accumulation. Increased accumulation of ROS, elevated MDA levels, reduced proline contents, and lowered expression of APX, CAT and SOD genes are also observed in the LcSAMT transgenic tobacco plants under drought stress, which means that the LcSAMT-overexpressing transgenic tobacco plants have decreased resistance to oxidative stress in comparison with control plants under drought stress. LcSAMT-overexpressing transgenic tobacco plants display decreased abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation and reduced transcript expression of NtNCED1 and NtRD22 genes. Therefore, the increased sensitivity of transgenic plants overexpressing LcSAMT gene to drought stress might also act through an ABA-dependent pathway. Overexpression of LcSAMT decreases RWC, proline, chlorophyll content, and the photosynthetic capacity, and increases MDA content of transgenic Nicotiana tabacum plants exposed to drought stress | Lycium chinense |
additional information | analysis of molecular mechanism of LcSAMT gene | Lycium chinense |
physiological function | salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic compound involved in plant growth and development. Salicylic acid carboxyl methyltransferase (SAMT) can catalyze the methylation of SA with S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor to form methyl salicylate (MeSA). Recombinant salicylic acid carboxyl methyltransferase-like gene LcSAMT from Lycium chinense negatively regulates the drought response in transgenic tobacco. Enzyme LcSAMT regulates the expression of stress-related genes in transgenic Nicotiana tabacum plants exposed to drought stress | Lycium chinense |
