Identification and functional characterization of the chloride channel gene, GsCLC-c2 from wild soybean.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The anionic toxicity of plants under salt stress is mainly caused by chloride (Cl^-). Thus Cl^- influx, transport and their regulatory mechanisms should be one of the most important aspects of plant salt tolerance studies, but are often sidelined by the focus on sodium (Na⁺) toxicity and its associated adaptations. Plant chloride channels (CLCs) are transport proteins for anions including Cl^- and nitrate (NO₃^-), and are critical for nutrition uptake and transport, adjustment of cellular turgor, stomatal movement, signal transduction, and Cl^- and NO₃^- homeostasis under salt stress.

Results

Among the eight soybean CLC genes, the tonoplast-localized c2 has uniquely differ
