Abstract

ASR (abscisic acid [ABA], stress, ripening-induced) proteins are a class of transcriptional factors involved in drought stress tolerance in many plant species. However, the regulation mechanism of ASR in banana under drought stress tolerance is not known. Previously, we screened a new ASR gene from the cDNA library of banana (Musa acuminata cv. ‘Brazilian’), designated MaASR1 (accession no. AY628102). MaASR1 expression was higher in leaves than roots under drought stress. MaASR1 was transferred into Arabidopsis thaliana and two independent transgenic lines (L14, L38) were obtained. The leaves of MaASR1 transgenic lines were smaller and thicker than those of the wild type. Survival rate and proline content were higher in L14 and L38 than in the wild type after drought treatment. Under drought stress and ABA treatment, We found that MaASR1 could enhance the sensitivity of the transgenic plants to ABA signal but did not improve ABA-dependent drought stress tolerance.
