Abstract
PYR/PYLs function as ABA receptors and are key regulators during plant drought stress response. Previously we screened drought tolerance of Arabidopsis ABA receptors PYR/PYLs under the control of five different promoters. In this study, we characterized drought stress tolerance of AtPYL5 transgene under the control of one guard cell specific promoter, pGC1. pGC1::AtPYL5 transgenic Arabidopsis exhibited reduced transpiration rate and decreased water loss after drought treatment. Transformation of pGC1::AtPYL5 in Arabidopsis also decreased oxidative stress damage and improved photosynthesis under drought stress condition. These results indicated that pGC1::AtPYL5 construct is effective and might pave new way to develop genetically engineered plants to improve drought stress tolerance.Entities:
