Os03g0315400

Its gene name OsMYB2, is a R2R3-type MYB gene, expression a MYB-type transcription factor plays a important role in the tolerance to abiotic stress of plants.

Annotated Information

Function

1、Overexpression of OsMYB2 enhanced tolerance to salt cold, and dehydration stress（figure 1）.

The involvement of OsMYB2 in salt, cold, and osmotic stress was investigated by exposing wild-type and the transgenic plants grown in hydroponic solution with NaCl, low temperature, and PEG. There was no difference between transgenic and wild-type plants when grown under normal, non-stressed conditions in hydroponic solution (Fig. 4A). Phenotypically, most OsMYB2-overexpressing seedlings remained green and showed continuous growth, whereas both wild-type and RNAi seedlings showed severe leaf rolling and wilting after exposure to the salt, cold, and osmotic stress (Fig. 4B-D).

WT:wildtype; OE2 and OE3: OsMYB2 overexpression strain; Ri1 and Ri3: OsMYB2 RNAi strain;

2、Overexpression of OsMYB2 altered sensitivity of seed germination and growth to salt stress and ABA(figure 2).

3、OsMYB2-overexpression plants accumulated greater amount of proline and soluble sugars(figure 3).

4、OsMYB2-overexpression plants accumulated less H2O2 and MDA under salt stress(figure 4).

5、OsMYB2-overexpression plants affect some genes' expression profiles. Some genes upregulation can contribute to enhanced tolerance of plants to salt stress and some may involved in stress response.

Expression

OsMYB2 was detected in roots,shoots,leaves, and flowers, but it was specifically located in the nucleus(figure 5)

The response of OsMYB2 expression to salt, cold, and dehydration stress was monitored by real-time RT-PCR. An increase in the OsMYB2 transcript was observed after 30 min of exposure to salt stress. The salt stress-induced increase in the OsMYB2 transcript peaked after 5 h of salt stress, and thereafter the transcript declined gradually under salt stress . A similar increase in the OsMYB2 transcript was also observed when rice seedlings were exposed to low temperature (2℃) or osmotic stress (20% PEG) . In addition, treatment of rice seedlings with ABA also led to an increase in expression of OsMYB2. In contrast, exogenous application of salicylic acid reduced the expression of OsMYB2, while no effect of indoleacetic acid and brassinosteroids on the OsMYB2 transcript was observed. OsMYB2 was detected in roots, shoots, leaves, and flowers under non-stressed conditions, with the expression being greatest in leaves, followed by roots and shoots . The strong induction of this gene by abiotic stress prompted this study to check its promoter sequence (1500 bp upstream from the transcription start site) by searching the promoter sequence against the PLACE database [(http://www.dna.affrc.go.jp/PLACE/)]. The promoter of OsMYB2 contains stress-responsive related cis-elements, such as ABRE and MYB and MYC recognition sites
