Description

Alfalfa MsWRKY41 transcription factor and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of plant genetic engineering, in particular to an alfalfa WRKY transcription factor and application thereof in chloroplast development regulation and control and improvement of aluminum toxicity resistance of plants.
Background
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a perennial legume, has good palatability, high protein content, and good reputation of the king of pasture, and is a high-quality and high-efficiency development life line of the milk industry. Chloroplasts are important sites for plant photosynthesis and are critical to maintaining normal plant growth and development. Al in acid soil (pH less than or equal to 5) 3+ Or Al [ OH ]] 4 - The compound has toxic action on plants, and severely inhibits the growth of the plants in acid soil.
Chloroplast development is controlled by the nucleus and chloroplast genome, and the nuclear gene encodes chloroplast proteins, which account for about 96%. During chloroplast development, the expression of chloroplast proteins encoded by nuclear genes is precisely regulated by different transcription factors. The WRKY transcription factor is one of the largest transcription factor families in plants and is widely involved in the growth and development of the plants and the response process of biotic and abiotic stresses. The WRKY transcription factor contains 1 or 2 conserved DNA binding motifs (WRKYGQK) and 1 zinc finger motif (CX) 4–5 CX 22–23 HXH or CX 7 CX 23 HXC), a core acting element W-box and PRE4 element (TGCGCTT), sucrose response element SURE (TAAAGATTACTAATAGGAA), SURE-like element, etc., which can specifically recognize a downstream target gene promoter.

Wherein, arabidopsis WRKY13, WRKY40 and WRKY57 can be combined with W-box elements in LHCB2.4 and HHEMA1 promoters, and the 2 genes are marker genes of chloroplast function and stress response. WRKY40 can also interact with the C-terminal of chloroplast protein magnesium protoporphyrin IX chelate enzyme H subunit (CHLH/ABAR) to jointly regulate and control the response of plants to ABA. When plants respond to aluminum toxicity stress, WRKY transcription factors are regulated and controlled by pathway relations such as AtWRKY46-AtALMT1, osWRKY22-OsFRDL4 and AtWRKY47-AtXTH17/AtELP, and the like, so that the secretion and cell wall characteristics of malic acid and citric acid in root systems are influenced.
