The invention relates to the technical field of
biology, in particular to a method for regulating and controlling
plant sodium ion homeostasis and salt tolerance by a light-operated pump, which comprises the following steps: constructing systems of
rhodopsin light-sensitive pumps KR2-T1.0, KR2-T2.0, KR2-T3.0 and KR2-T4.0 with different
cell membrane localization and membrane loading efficiencies through
gene optimization, connecting the systems with a retinaldehyde production
gene Ret, then inserting into a
plant expression vector pCAMBIA3300, and carrying out
photosynthesis to obtain the
plant sodium ion homeostasis and salt tolerance control plant
sodium ion homeostasis and salt tolerance control plant sodium ion homeostasis and salt tolerance control plant sodium ion homeostasis and salt tolerance control plant sodium ion homeostasis and salt tolerance control plant sodium ion homeostasis. Transient expression of
nicotiana benthamiana and stable expression of rape are achieved through
agrobacterium tumefaciens mediation, the pump is activated through
irradiation of
green light of 530 nm + / -5 nm, active
excretion in plant cells is driven, and accurate, dynamic and reversible regulation and control of the sodium ion
steady state are achieved. According to the method, the technical bottlenecks that KR2 is poor in
plant cell membrane localization and low in membrane loading efficiency are broken through, gradient regulation and control of
efflux efficiency are achieved, the method is high in response speed,
light energy serves as power,
cell ATP is not depended on, exogenous chemical intervention is avoided, and the plant salt tolerance can be remarkably improved.
