Main conclusionOverexpression ofSaAQPcan improve the salt tolerance of transgenic soybean hairy roots andA. thaliana.AbstractSalt stress severely affects crop yield and food security. There is a need to improve the salt tolerance of crops, but the discovery and utilization of salt-tolerance genes remains limited. Owing to its strong stress tolerance,Sophora alopecuroidesis ideal for the identification of salt-tolerance genes. Therefore, we aimed to screen and identify the salt-tolerance genes inS. alopecuroides. With a yeast expression library of seedlings, salt-tolerant genes were screened using a salt-containing medium to simulate salt stress. By combining salt-treatment screening and transcriptome sequencing, 11 candidate genes related to salt tolerance were identified, including genes for peroxidase, inositol methyltransferase, aquaporin, cysteine synthase, pectinesterase, and WRKY. The expression dynamics of candidate genes were analyzed after salt treatment ofS. alopecuroides, and salt tolerance was verified in yeast BY4743. The candidate genes participated in the salt-stress response inS. alopecuroides, and their overexpression significantly improved the salt tolerance of yeast. Salt tolerance mediated bySaAQPwas further verified in soybean hairy roots andArabidopsis thaliana, and it was found thatSaAQPmight enhance the salt tolerance ofA. thalianaby participating in a reactive oxygen species scavenging mechanism. This result provides new genetic resources in plant breeding for salt resistance.
