摘要： bHLH family proteins play an important role in plant stress response. However, the molecular mechanism regulating the salt response of bHLH is largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate the function and regulating mechanism of the sweet sorghum SbbHLH85 during salt stress. The results showed that SbbHLH85 was different from its homologs in other species. Also, it was a new atypical bHLH transcription factor and a key gene for root development in sweet sorghum. The overexpression of SbbHLH85 resulted in significantly increased number and length of root hairs via ABA and auxin signaling pathways, increasing the absorption of Na+. Thus, SbbHLH85 plays a negative regulatory role in the salt tolerance of sorghum. We identified a potential interaction partner of SbbHLH85, which was phosphate transporter chaperone PHF1 and modulated the distribution of phosphate, through screening a yeast two-hybrid library. Both yeast two-hybrid and BiFC experiments confirmed the interaction between SbbHLH85 and PHF1. The overexpression of SbbHLH85 led to a decrease in the expression of PHF1 as well as the content of Pi. Based on these results, we suggested that the increase in the Na+ content and the decrease in the Pi content resulted in the salt sensitivity of transgenic sorghum.
