Ethylene Responsive Factor 34 (ERF34) negatively mediates salt stress-induced leaf senescence by regulating the expression of salt stress-responsive genes in Arabidopsis


ABSTRACT: Leaf senescence, the last step of leaf development which is important for plant’s fitness, proceeds with age but is modulated by various environmental stresses and hormones. Salt stress is one of the well-known environmental stresses that accelerate leaf senescence. However, the molecular mechanisms how the signal of salt stress is integrated into leaf senescence programs are still elusive. In this study, we characterized the function of an Arabidopsis APETALA 2/ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) family transcription factor, ERF34, in salt stress-induced leaf senescence. ERF34 was differentially expressed under leaf senescence-inducing conditions including age, dark, and high salt. ERF34 negatively regulated salt stress-induced leaf senescence as well as promoted salt stress tolerance at diverse developmental stages. Analysis of genome-wide targets of ERF34 revealed that the overexpression of ERF34 could alter salt-responsive gene expression. Moreover, ERF34 directly bound to the promoters of EARLY RESPONSIVE TO DEHYDRATION 10 and RESPONSE TO DESICCATION 29A and activated their expression. Our findings imply that ERF34 is a key regulator in the convergence of salt stress response with the regulatory programs of leaf senescence and is a potential candidate for crop improvement, particularly by enhancing salt stress tolerance.
