This study revealed the mechanisms of salt stress tolerance during brown seed germination in Suaeda liaotungensis, including the importance of transcription regulation and hormone signal transduction, ROS metabolism, cell wall organization or biogenesis, and carbohydrate metabolic process. Furthermore, functional analysis demonstrated that overexpression of SlNAC2 significantly enhanced salt tolerance during the germination stage in Arabidopsis.
Seed germination is susceptible to external environmental factors, especially salt stress. Suaeda liaotungensis is a halophyte with strong salt tolerance, and the germination rate of brown seeds under 1000 mM NaCl treatment still reached 28.9%. To explore the mechanism of salt stress response during brown seed germination in Suaeda liaotungensis, we conducted transcriptomic analysis on the dry seeds (SlD), germinated seeds under the control condition (SlG_C), and salt treatment (SlG_N). Transcriptome analysis revealed that 13314 and 755 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from SlD vs. SlG_C and SlG_C vs. SlG_N were detected, respectively. Most DEGs were enriched in pathways related to transcription regulation and hormone signal transduction, ROS metabolism, cell wall organization or biogenesis, and carbohydrate metabolic process in two contrasting groups. Compared with the control condition, POD and CAT activity, H2O2, soluble sugar, and proline contents were increased during germinated seeds under salt stress. Furthermore, functional analysis demonstrated that overexpression of SlNAC2 significantly enhanced salt tolerance during the germination stage in Arabidopsis. These results not only revealed the tolerant mechanism of brown seed germination in response to salinity stress but also promoted the exploration and application of salt-tolerant gene resources of Suaeda liaotungensis.
