Functional Characterization of PagMYB148 in Salt Tolerance Response and Gene Expression Analysis under Abiotic Stress Conditions in Hybrid Poplar
MYB transcription factors containing an R2R3 DNA-binding domain are involved in the regulation of various physiological processes, such as responses to abiotic stresses, including salt stress. In poplar, various MYB transcription factors regulate stress responses. In this study, we aimed to identify the correlation between the transcription factor MYB148 and salt stress responses in the hybrid poplar (Populus alba × P. glandulosa). We induced a mutation in the MYB-binding domain of PagMYB148 using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing of the PagMYB148 gene, which induced a more suppressed expression of PagMYB148 than that in the wild-type. Although salt and drought treatments enhance the expression of PagMYB148, the pagmyb148-transgenic plants exhibited more sensitive phenotypes than the wild-type plants under salt stress. After exposure to salinity stress, the chlorophyll content was lower in pagmyb148-transgenic plants than in wild-type plants, whereas the mutation increased ion leakage from cells. Additionally, the expression of genes involved in the salt stress response was higher in pagmyb148-transgenic plants than in the wild-type. After salt treatment, pagmyb148-transgenic plants exhibited an increased level of H2O2 and reduced activity of antioxidant enzymes. In summary, the MYB148 transcription factor is involved in the regulation of salt stress resistance in hybrid poplar trees. This report contributes to providing a basis for further investigating the molecular mechanisms of the poplar PagMYB148 transcription factor under abiotic stress.
