The Salvia miltiorrhiza NAC transcription factor SmNAC1 enhances zinc content in transgenic Arabidopsis.
Gene(2019)
摘要
NAC transcription factors play important roles in plant biological processes, including plant development, environmental stress responses and element enrichment. A novel NAC transcription factor gene, designated SmNAC1, was isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza. SmNAC1 was localized in the nucleus in onion protoplasts and exhibited transcriptional activation activities in yeast. In addition, the SmNAC1 protein could specifically bind to the cis-elements of the NAC proteins. SmNAC1 was expressed at a higher level in the leaves of S. miltiorrhiza, indicating that SmNAC1 might be involved in the transportation of zinc. To examine the function of SmNAC1, transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing SmNAC1 were generated. Zinc content assays in the transgenic plants demonstrated that overexpressed SmNAC1 plants had enhanced tolerance to high zinc concentrations, and zinc was enriched in the shoot tissues. Our results demonstrate that SmNAC1 plays important roles in the response to zinc stress. Zinc was mainly enriched in the leaves of S. miltiorrhiza and the shoot tissues of transgenic Arabidopsis plants. SmNAC1 might participate in zinc transportation from the roots to the shoots, that constitutes a useful gene for improving zinc content in plants.
