PagMYB151 facilitates proline accumulation to enhance salt tolerance of poplar.

ABSTRACT: Poplar is one of the main urban and rural greening and shade tree species in the northern hemisphere, but its growth and development is always restricted by salt stress. R2R3-MYB transcription factor family is commonly involved in many biological processes during plant growth and stress endurance. In this study, PagMYB151 (Potri.014G035100) one of R2R3-MYB members related to salt stress and expressed in both nucleus and cell membrane was cloned from Populus alba × P. glandulosa to perfect the salt tolerance mechanism. Morphological and physiological indexes regulated by PagMYB151 were detected using the PagMYB151 overexpression (OX) and RNA interference (RNAi) transgenic poplar lines. Under salt stress conditions, compared with RNAi and the non-transgenic wild-type (WT) plants, the plant h
