摘要： Soil alkalization has become a serious problem that limits plant growth through osmotic stress, ionic imbalance, and oxidative stress. Understanding how plants resist alkali stress has practical implications for alkaline-land utilization. In this study, we identified a small GTPase, PvARFR2 (ADP ribosylation factors related 2), that positively regulates alkali tolerance in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and uncovered its potential mode of action. Overexpressing PvARFR2 in switchgrass and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) conferred transformant tolerance to alkali stress, demonstrated by alleviated leaf wilting, less oxidative injury, and a lower Na+/K+ ratio under alkali conditions. Conversely, switchgrass PvARFR2-RNAi and its homolog mutant atgb1 in Arabidopsis displayed alkali sensitives. Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed that cytosolic abscisic acid (ABA) receptor kinase PvCARK3 transcript levels were higher in PvARFR2 overexpression lines compared to the controls and were strongly induced by alkali treatment in shoots and roots. Phenotyping analysis revealed that PvCARK3-OE x atgb1 lines were sensitive to alkali similar to the Arabidopsis atgb1 mutant, indicating that PvARFR2/AtGB1 functions in the same pathway as PvCARK3 under alkaline stress conditions. Application of ABA on PvARFR2-OE and PvCARK3-OE switchgrass transformants resulted in ABA sensitivity. Moreover, we determined that PvARFR2 physically interacts with PvCARK3 in vitro and in vivo. Our results indicate that a small GTPase, PvARFR2, positively responds to alkali stress by interacting with the cytosolic ABA receptor kinase PvCARK3, connecting the alkaline stress response to ABA signaling. A small GTPase interacts with a cytosolic abscisic acid receptor kinase to enhance alkali tolerance in switchgrass via the abscisic acid signaling pathway.
