| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the mechanism of enhanced salinity tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana overexpressing AtproPep1, a precursor protein of 23-amino acid peptide AtPep1. Amount of AtproPep1 protein in overexpression lines was increased in response to NaCl treatment. Expression of 2 matacaspase genes and SOS genes, which were predicted to process AtproPep1 and important for Na+ exclusion from the cells,respectively, were higher in the overexpression lines than in WT. Since Na+ content was kept lower in the overexpression lines under NaCl stress, we are speculating that promotion of AtPep1 generation by NaCl treatment in the AtproPep1 overexpression lines led to activation of Na+ exclusion from cells, which are directly related to enhanced salt tolerance.
