ScDREB10, an A-5c type of DREB Gene of the Desert Moss Syntrichia caninervis, Confers Osmotic and Salt Tolerances to Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: Drought and salinity are major factors limiting crop productivity worldwide. DREB (dehydration-responsive element-binding) transcription factors play important roles in plant stress response and have been identified in a wide variety of plants. Studies on DREB are focused on the A-1 (DREB1) and A-2 (DREB2) groups. Studies on A-5 group DREBs, which represent a large proportion of the DREB subfamily, is limited. In this study, we characterized and analyzed the stress tolerance function of ScDREB10, an A-5c type DREB gene from the desert moss Syntrichia caninervis. Transactivation assay in yeast showed that ScDREB10 had transactivation activity. Transient expression assay revealed that ScDREB10 was distributed both in the nucleus and cytosol of tobacco leaf
