Abstract

Cold stress is a prominent abiotic factor that adversely affects the growth and yield of pears, consequently restricting the cultivation range and resulting in substantial economic losses for the pear industry. Basic region–leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors are widely involved in multiple physiological and biochemical activities of plants, particularly in response to cold stress. In this study, the responsiveness of PbbZIP11 in pear to cold stress was investigated, and its role was explored by using pear callus and Arabidopsis thaliana. The findings revealed that overexpression of PbbZIP11 enhanced the tolerance of pear callus and Arabidopsis thaliana to cold stress. The antioxidant enzyme activities of transgenic plants were enhanced and the expression of C-repeat binding transcription factor (CBF) genes was increased as compared to wild-type plants. To better understand the biological function of PbbZIP11, mRNAs were isolated from overexpressed and wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana after cold stress for whole-genome sequencing. The results showed that the expression of some CBF downstream target genes changed after exposure to cold stress. The results suggested that the PbbZIP11 gene could participate in cold-stress signaling through the CBF-dependent pathway, which provides a theoretical basis for the PbbZIP11-mediated response to cold stress and for the genetic breeding of pear varieties with low-temperature tolerance.
