摘要: Identifying and applying salt or drought tolerant genes is a quick method of enhancing crop tolerance to environmental stresses. In this study, a full-length new betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene from Brassica napus (BnBADH1) was isolated by homologous cloning method according to the sequence of Arabidopsis BADH1 gene. BnBADH1 was 1506 bp in length and it theoretically encoded a hypothetical protein with 501 aa; sharing 90.2% identity with its ortholog in Arabidopsis (GenBank: ALDH10A8) in nucleotide sequence and 93.4% identity in amino acid sequence. The mRNA expression levels of BnBADH1 under drought or salt stress was investigated by quantitative real-time PCR. Under drought stress, the expression level of BnBADH1 mRNA began to decrease slightly from 12 h to 72 h; but it suddenly increased at 96 h and reached a peak at 120 h; after that, its expression reduced drastically from 144 h to 192 h. While under salt stress, there was no obvious difference in expression level at the first 8 h (2-8 h); but mRNA increased sharply at 20 h. Moreover, the BnBADH1 gene was induced into Arabidopsis and overexpressed. Drought and salt stress tolerance was enhanced in Arabidopsis as was expressed by higher root length of transgenic plants compared with its wild plants. It is the first report which highlighted the expressions of newly isolated gene BnBADH1 from rapeseed in transgenic Arabidopsis to enhance drought and salt stresses tolerance.
