摘要: WRKY transcription factors play important roles in plant growth and developmental processes and various stress responses, and are also associated with jasmonic acid (JA) signaling in the regulation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis in plants. The regulatory networks mediated by WRKY proteins in the latex production of Hevea brasiliensis (the Para rubber tree) are poorly understood. In this study, one novel WRKY gene (designated HbWRKY83) was identified from the latex of H. brasiliensis, and its functions were characterized via gene expression analysis in both the latex and HbWRKY83-overexpressing transgenic Arabidopsis. HbWRKY83 gene contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 921 bp encoding a 306-amino-acid protein which is clustered with group IIc WRKY TF. HbWRKY83 is a nuclear-localized protein with transcriptional activity. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis demonstrated that the transcription level of HbWRKY83 was up-regulated by exogenous methyl jasmonate, Ethrel (ethylene releaser) stimulation, and bark tapping (mechanical wounding). Compared with the wild-type plants, overexpression of HbWRKY83 improved the tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis lines to drought and salt stresses by enhancing the expression levels of ethylene-insensitive3 transcription factors (EIN3s) and several stress-responsive genes, including Cu/Zn superoxide dismutases CSD1 (Cu/Zn-SOD1) and CSD2 (Cu/Zn-SOD2), related to reactive oxygen species scavenging. Additionally, these genes were also significantly up-regulated by bark tapping. In combination, these results suggest that HbWRKY83 might act as a positive regulator of rubber production by activating the expression of JA-, ethylene-, and wound-responsive genes in the laticiferous cells of rubber trees.
