摘要： K(+)is an essential nutrient for plant growth and is responsible for many important physiological processes. K(+)deficiency leads to crop yield losses, and overexpression of K(+)transporter genes has been proven to be an effective way to resolve this problem. However, current research on the overexpression of K(+)transporter genes is limited to plant sources. TrkH is a bacterial K(+)transporter whose function generally depends on the regulation of TrkA. To date, whether TrkH can improve K(+)uptake in eukaryotic organisms is still unknown. In this study, a novelMbtrkHgene was cloned from marine microbial metagenomic DNA. Functional complementation and K+-depletion analyses revealed that MbTrkH functions in K(+)uptake in the K+-deficient yeast strain CY162. Moreover, K+-depletion assays revealed thatMbtrkHoverexpression improves plant K(+)uptake. K(+)hydroponic culture experiments showed that, compared with WT tobacco lines,MbtrkHtransgenic tobacco lines had significantly greater fresh weights, dry weights and K(+)contents. These results indicate that MbTrkH promotes K(+)uptake independently of TrkA in eukaryotes and provide a new strategy for improving K+-use efficiency in plants.
