Abstract

AbstractAs a typical halophyte, Nitraria tangutorum Bobr. has attracted the interest of many researchers with the excellent salt tolerance. Elucidation of the mechanism of N. tangutorum salinity tolerance will facilitate the genetic improvement of productive plants faced with salinity. To reveal the molecular response to gradually accumulated salt stress in N. tangutorum, RNA-sequencing and analysis of gradually accumulated NaCl treated samples and control samples were performed, and a total of 1419 differentially expressed genes were identified, including 949 down-regulated genes and 470 up-regulated genes. Detailed analysis uncovered that the catabolism of organic compounds mainly based on oxidative phosphorylation genes was up-regulated. Additionally, various antioxidant genes, especially anthocyanin-related genes, were found to help N. tangutorum remove reactive oxygen species. Moreover, the Mitogen activated protein kinase signaling pathway and other signaling pathways co-regulated various salt tolerance activities. Additionally, intracellular ion homeostasis was maintained via regulation of osmotic regulator-related genes, cutin-related genes, and cell elongation-related genes to retain cellular water and reduce ion concentration. In particularly, simultaneous up-regulation in cytoskeleton-related genes, cell wall-related genes, and auxin-related genes, provided evidence of important role of cell expansion in plant salt tolerance. In conclusion, complex regulatory mechanisms modulated by multiple genes might contribute to the salt tolerance by N. tangutorum.
