Salt stress is a critical environmental factor that affects plant growth and development, especially crop productivity. Understanding how plants respond to salt stress is crucial for the development of salt-tolerant plants. In this study, we investigated the role of GmMPK6, a soybean mitogen-activated protein kinase, in regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and salt tolerance.
Salt stress is a critical environmental stress that impairs plant growth and development, especially in crop productivity; therefore, understanding the salt response in plants is the basis for their development of salt tolerance. Under salinity, soybean mitogen-activated protein kinase 6 (GmMPK6) is activated and positively regulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. However, it is not yet elucidated how GmMPK6 regulates ROS generation and its role in salt tolerance. Here, we show that GmMPK6, solely activated in NaCl treatment, and gene expression of GmRbohI1 was not only reduced by MPK inhibitor SB202190 in NaCl treatment, but also increased in a GMKK1-expressing protoplast. Furthermore, SB202190 and the NADPH-oxidase inhibitor, diphenyleneiodonium chloride, increased susceptibility to salt stress. The expression of GmRD19A was induced by NaCl treatment, but this expression was compromised by SB202190. Consequently, we revealed that GmMPK6 induces ROS generation through the transcriptional regulation of GmRbohI1 and increases salt tolerance in soybean.
