The invention belongs to the technical field of
gene engineering, and relates to a
cyperus esculentus CeMYB154
gene capable of improving salt tolerance and
active oxygen scavenging capacity and application of the
cyperus esculentus CeMYB154
gene. The
Cyperus esculentus CeMYB154 gene belongs to an
MYB transcription factor family, the
Cyperus esculentus CeMYB154 gene is screened and transformed into
Arabidopsis thaliana through
transcriptome sequencing,
bioinformatics analysis, gene
cloning, overexpression vector construction and recombinant strain overexpression, and analysis finds that under salt stress, compared with a
wild type, the
root length of a
plant with the overexpressed CeMYB154 gene is obviously increased, the growth vigor is better, and the growth rate of the
plant with the overexpressed CeMYB154 gene is higher. According to the present invention, the content of MDA and H2O2 is significantly reduced, and the activity of CAT, POD and SOD
antioxidant enzymes is significantly enhanced, such that the overexpressed CeMYB154 gene can enhance the salt tolerance and the
active oxygen scavenging ability of the
plant, and the overexpressed CeMYB154 gene is proved to be the salt tolerance positive regulation factor; the CeMYB154 gene can be used in the field of salt-tolerant stress-resistant breeding of
cyperus esculentus, and provides an important gene resource for salt-tolerant
molecular breeding.
