| Abstract: | The ERF (ethylene-responsive element-binding factor) transcription factor family plays important roles in abiotic and biotic stress responses in plants. An EAR motif-containing ERF gene, IbERF4, was isolated from sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam]. IbERF4 was highly expressed in the early stage of storage roots and can be induced by various stresses. By overexpressing IbERF4 in Arabidopsis, the transgenic Arabidopsis showed greater sensitivity to drought and salt stress by down-regulating stress-related genes, such as rd22, rd29, AtCBF1 and AtCBF2. Overexpressing IbERF4 in sweetpotato made the transgenic sweetpotato more sensitive to salt stress and made propagating new seedlings more difficult. Consistently, the transcriptomic profiling results showed that genes involved in oxidative stress were significantly down-regulated in sweetpotato overexpression lines. These results indicated that IbERF4 plays as key regulators in sweetpotato abiotic stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
