Gene Details:
- Gene ID: MS.gene058705
- Gene Symbol: MsLEA1
- Gene Name:
- Genome:
- Species: Medicago sativa
Functional Descriptions:
- These results indicate that MsLEA1 recruits and protects its target proteins (SOD and Ms1770) and increases alfalfa tolerance against drought and Al stresses.
- We investigated LEA group 3 protein MsLEA1, containing the typically disordered and α-helix structure, via overexpression and RNA interference (RNAi) approaches in alfalfa under drought and aluminum (Al) stresses.
- Overexpressing MsLEA1 increased alfalfa tolerance to drought and Al stresses, but downregulating MsLEA1 decreased the tolerance.
- MsLEA1 was demonstrated to directly interact with iron SOD (Fe-SOD), copper/zinc SOD (Cu/Zn-SOD) protein, or Rubisco large subunit protein (Ms1770) to protect chloroplast structure and photosynthesis under drought and Al stress.
