A novel regulatory module is revealed, MsDREB1C–MsPUB6, in which a DREB1 transcription factor positively regulates a U-box-type E3 ligase gene to contribute to drought tolerance in alfalfa.
ABSTRACT Drought constitutes a major abiotic stress limiting alfalfa productivity. To elucidate the genetic basis of drought tolerance, a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in alfalfa, which identified a CBF/DREB1 family transcription factor designated MsCBF8. Utilizing an optimized CRISPR‐Cas9 system,...
This study generated 528 RNA‐seq libraries from 176 alfalfa accessions under well‐watered and salt stress conditions and functionally validated MsRD26, a NAC transcription factor, as a major candidate positive regulator of salt tolerance.
