Abstract

Abstract:

【Objective】This study aimed to systematically characterize the BZR1 transcription factor family in yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium) and elucidate its functional roles in abiotic stress response, thereby providing insights for breeding stress-resistant cultivars.【Method】Genome-wide identification of XsBZR1 genes was performed using bioinformatics tools. Subcellular localization of XsBZR1 proteins was validated via 35S::XsBZR1-eYFP fusion constructs. Expression profiles under abiotic stresses (low temperature, salt, drought) and abscisic acid (ABA) treatment were analyzed by qRT-PCR. Functional validation was conducted by overexpressing XsBZR1- 9 in Arabidopsis thaliana and assessing salt tolerance phenotypes.【Result】Nine XsBZR1 genes (XsBZR1-1 to XsBZR1-9) were identified and distributed unevenly across six chromosomes. Phylogenetic and synteny analyses revealed close evolutionary relationships with dicotyledonous BZR1 orthologs. Promoter regions harbored abundant cis-regulatory elements associated with light responsiveness (48.9%), hormone signaling (35.0%) and stress adaptation (24.6%). The nuclear localization of all XsBZR1 proteins was experimentally confirmed. Differential expression patterns were observed under stress conditions: low temperature (4 ℃) rapidly induced eight XsBZR1 genes (1.3- to 6.0-fold upregulation at 3 h; P<0.05), except XsBZR1-7. Salt stress (150 mmol/L NaCl) suppressed XsBZR1-3/4/5/7 but strongly upregulated XsBZR1-1 (26.1-fold) and XsBZR1-9 (19.6-fold) at 9 h (P<0.001). Drought stress (mass fraction 25% PEG6000) elevated XsBZR1- 3/7/8/9 expression (>1.9-fold at 9 h), while others remained stable. ABA treatment (100 μmol/L) universally induced XsBZR1 genes, with XsBZR1-8 showing a 35.4-fold increase (P<0.001).Transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing XsBZR1-9 exhibited enhanced salt tolerance, with taproot lengths twice that of the wild-type under 100 mmol/L NaCl (P<0.01).【Conclusion】The XsBZR1 gene family plays pivotal roles in yellowhorn’s abiotic stress response, with XsBZR1-9 demonstrating significant potential for improving salt tolerance. These findings advance the molecular understanding of stress adaptation mechanisms in woody plants and provide targets for precision breeding.
