摘要： Iron is involved in various metabolic pathways of plants. Stress from iron deficiency and toxicity in the soil adversely affects plant growth. Therefore, studying the mechanism of iron absorption and transport by plants is of important for resistance to iron stress and to increase crop yield. In this study, Malus xiaojinensis (a Fe-efficient Malus plant) was used as research material. A ferric reduction oxidase (FRO) family gene member was cloned and named MxFRO4. The MxFRO4 encoded a protein of 697 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 78.54 kDa and a theoretical isoelectric point of 4.90. A subcellular localization assay showed that the MxFRO4 protein was localized on the cell membrane. The expression of MxFRO4 was enriched in immature leaves and roots of M. xiaojinensis, and was strongly affected by low-iron, high-iron, and salt treatments. After introduction of MxFRO4 into Arabidopsis thaliana, the iron and salt stress tolerance of transgenic A. thaliana was greatly improved. Under exposure to low-iron and high-iron stresses, the primary root length, seedling fresh weight, contents of proline, chlorophyll, and iron, and iron(III) chelation activity of the transgenic lines were signifi-cantly increased compared with the wild type. The contents of chlorophyll and proline, and the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase were significantly higher in transgenic A. thaliana overexpressing MxFRO4 under salt stress compared with the wild type, whereas the malondialdehyde content was decreased. These results suggest that MxFRO4 contributes to alleviating the effects of low-iron, high-iron, and salinity stresses in transgenic A. thaliana.
