Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: FaDREB2
  • Gene Name: dehydration-responsive element binding protein 2
  • Genome:
  • Species: Festuca arundinacea

Functional Descriptions:

  • Ectopic Expression of FaDREB2 Enhances Osmotic Tolerance in Paper Mulberry.
  • The ectopic expression of FaDREB2 did not cause growth retardation, and the paper mulberry seedlings expressing FaDREB2 showed higher salt and drought tolerance than wild-type plants (WT).
  • The FaDREB2 transgenic plants had higher leaf water and chlorophyll contents, accumulated more proline and soluble sugars, and had less membrane damage than the WT plants under high salt and water-deficient conditions.
  • Taken together, the results indicate the feasibility of improving tolerance to multiple environmental stresses in paper mulberry seedlings via genetic engineering, by introducing FaDREB2, which promotes the increased accumulation of osmolytes (soluble sugars and proline), to counter osmotic stresses caused by abiotic factors.
