摘要
Cold stress is one of the adverse effects on apple distribution and production. However,the molecular mechanisms underlying apple cold stress tolerance are not clear. In this study,we cloned a novel R2R3 MYB transcription factor,Md MYB5523,and its close homolog Md MYB0970 from Golden Delicious(Malus × domestica). Expression of Md MYB5523 and Md MYB0970 was slightly induced by cold stress. Sub-cellular localization revealed that both proteins are localized in the nucleus. With Affinity Purification-Mass Spectrometry(AP-MASS) and yeast two-hybrid screening,we obtained two interacting partners of Md MYB5523 and Md MYB0970,Md HYL1(HYPONASTIC LEAVES 1) and Md SERRATE. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation-PCR showed that Md MYB5523 and Md MYB0970 target genes involved in cold stress,including Md SIZ1 and Md CSP3(COLD SHOCK DOMAIN PROTEIN 3). RNAi lines of Md MYB5523 and Md MYB0970 in Gala-3(Malus × domestica) showed increased sensitivity to cold stress,while over-expression lines of Md MYB5523 or Md MYB0970 showed increased tolerance to cold stress,indicating that Md MYB5523 and Md MYB0970 are two positive regulators of cold stress in apple. Taken together,our results indicate that Md MYB5523 and Md MYB0970 played important roles in cold stress tolerance of apple.
