Trihelix Transcriptional Factor GhGT26 of Cotton Enhances Salinity Tolerance in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), the most important textile crop worldwide, often encounters abiotic stress during its growing season and its productivity is significantly limited by adverse factors. Trihelix transcription factors (also known as GT factors) are important proteins involved in the morphological development and responses to abiotic stress in plants. However, their functions and molecular mechanisms in the cotton toward abiotic stress response remain unclear. In this study, a member (GhGT26) of the cotton Trihelix family was functionally characterized in the model plant Arabidopsis. This protein containing a SANT domain belongs to the GT-1 subgroup of trihelix proteins. GhGT26 was widely expressed in tissues (with the highest level in flower) and res
