摘要： Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) originated in China and is generally cultivated in arid and barren soil. Through long-term harsh environmental selection, foxtail millet has acquired significant drought resistance. However, the molecular mechanism of foxtail millet drought resistance is still unknown. Here, we identified a drought-induced R2R3-MYB transcription factorSiMYB56in foxtail millet. Overexpression ofSiMYB56significantly enhances tolerance to drought stress in transgenic rice plants at both the vegetative and the reproductive stage and has no adverse effect on its normal growth. Compared with wild-type controls,SiMYB56-overexpressing rice plants had lower MDA content and higher lignin content under drought conditions. Quantitative real-time PCR and Transcriptional activity assays demonstrated thatSiMYB56could activate expression of lignin biosynthesis genes under drought conditions. Also, we found that overexpression ofSiMYB56can led to ABA accumulation in the seeds transgenic rice plants. Further experiments showed that Overexpression ofSiMYB56can upregulate the expression of ABA synthesis and response related genes under drought conditions. In conclusion,SiMYB56may enhance the drought resistance of transgenic rice plants by regulating lignin biosynthesis and ABA signaling pathway, makingSiMYB56a candidate gene for drought resistance improvement in gramineous crops.
