Soil salinization limits plant growth and threatens crop production. Research on salt response in plants, especially halophytes, is imperative. WRKY transcription factors (TFs) have critical regulatory roles in plant alkaline metal (sodium) salt stress response.Iris lacteavar.chinensisis an ornamental and perennial herbaceous halophyte. In this study, a new WRKY TF geneIlWRKY1was firstly cloned fromI. lacteavar.chinensis.IlWRKY1cDNA sequence contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 1083 bp, which encodes a protein (Mw: 38.77 kDa; pI: 5.22) of 361 amino acids. Analysis of the conserved domains of protein sequence indicated that IlWRKY1 belonged to the Group Ⅲ WRKY TFs. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the IlWRKY1 was much closer to AoWRKY41 fromAsparagus officinalisand MaWRKY41 fromMusa acuminatasubsp.malaccensis. Furthermore, analysis of mRNA transcriptional levels revealed that the expression ofIlWRKY1was notably increased under NaCl stress inI. lacteavar.chinensisshoots, and achieved the highest level after 24 h of NaCl stress, suggesting thatIlWRKY1may be involved inI. lacteavar.chinensissodium salt responses. This work will conduce to the research on the molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of the sodium salt tolerance inI. lacteavar.chinensisbyIlWRKY1.
