The AlkB Homolog SlALKBH10B Negatively Affects Drought and Salt Tolerance in Solanum lycopersicum.

ABSTRACT: ALKBH proteins, the homologs of Escherichia coli AlkB dioxygenase, constitute a single-protein repair system that safeguards cellular DNA and RNA against the harmful effects of alkylating agents. ALKBH10B, the first discovered N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) demethylase in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), has been shown to regulate plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, until now, the functional role of the plant ALKBH10B has solely been reported in arabidopsis, cotton, and poplar, leaving its functional implications in other plant species shrouded in mystery. In this study, we identified the AlkB homolog SlALKBH10B in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) through phylogenetic and gene expression analyses. SlALKBH10B exhibited
