This study identified and characterized MAPKK, MAPKKK, and MAPK genes in sorghum and revealed their roles in drought response. Overexpression experiments showed that SbMPK14 functions as a negative regulator of the drought response. Further analysis demonstrated that SbMPK14 increases plant drought sensitivity by suppressing the activity of specific transcription factors.
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade plays a crucial role in regulating many important biological processes in plants. Here, we identified and characterized eight MAPKK and 49 MAPKKK genes in sorghum and analyzed their differential expression under drought treatment; we also characterized 16 sorghum MAPK genes. RNA-seq analysis revealed that 10 MAPK cascade genes were involved in drought stress response at the transcriptome level in sorghum. Overexpression of SbMPK14 in Arabidopsis and maize resulted in hypersensitivity to drought by promoting water loss, indicating that SbMPK14 functions as a negative regulator of the drought response. Subsequent transcriptome analysis and qRT-PCR verification of maize SbMPK14 over expression lines revealed that SbMPK14 likely increases plant drought sensitivity by suppressing the activity of specific ERF and WRKY transcription factors. This comprehensive study provides valuable insight into the mechanistic basis of MAPK cascade gene function and their responses to drought in sorghum.
