AtPPRT1 negatively regulates salt stress response in Arabidopsis seedlings.

ABSTRACT: Salt stress is one of the environmental factors that negatively affect plant growth and development. We have previously reported a putative C3HC4 zinc-finger ubiquitin E3 ligase (AtPPRT1) negatively regulates Abscisic acid (ABA) and drought stress response. According to previous studies, the accumulation of ABA in plants can further regulate the salt stress response. Therefore, in this study, we further analyzed whether AtPPRT1 negatively regulates the salt stress response. The results showed that AtPPRT1 expression was induced by salt stress. Furthermore, under salt stress, the β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene driven by the AtPPRT1 promoter has shown increased activity in the hypocotyl and petioles of Arabidopsis seedlings. Additionally, seedlings of the T-DNA insertion mut
