The miR169b/NFYA1 module from the halophyte Halostachys caspica endows salt and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis through multi-pathways.

ABSTRACT: Salt and drought are the major abiotic stress factors plaguing plant growth, development and crop yields. Certain abiotic-stress tolerant plants have developed special mechanisms for adapting to adverse environments in the long process of evolution. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which they can exert resistance to abiotic stresses is beneficial for breeding new cultivars to guide agricultural production. Halostachys caspica, a perennial halophyte belonging to Halostachys in Amaranthaceae, is extremely tolerant to harsh environments, which is commonly grown in the saline-alkali arid desert area of Northwest, China. However, the molecular mechanism of stress tolerance is unclear. Nuclear Factor Y-A (NFYA) is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of downs
