Abstract

To investigate the role of candidate genes for salt-alkali tolerance in cucumber ( L.), this study screened in the glutathione pathway from previous transcriptome data for cloning and functional analysis. Clone cucumber contains one 675 bp open reading frame, containing one GST-N-Tau domain and one GST-C-Tau domain, and is expressed in cytoplasm. After successfully constructing overexpression vectors of CsTAU1 (+) and CsTAU1 (-), they were transferred into cucumber varieties 'D1909' (high salt alkali resistance) and 'D1604' (low salt alkali resistance) for salt-alkali resistance identification. It was found that under salt-alkali stress, CsTAU1 (+)-overexpressing plants showed strong resistance to salt-alkali stress, while CsTAU1 (-)-overexpressing plants showed the opposite situation. qRT-PCR analysis was performed on other glutathione pathway-related genes in -overexpressing plants. The expression patterns of LOC101219529 and LOC105434443 were the same as , and the introduction of (+) increased the chlorophyll, α-Naphthylamine oxidation, glutathione S-transferase (GST), and catalase (CAT) content of cucumber. The research results provide a theoretical basis for cultivating salt-alkali-tolerant cucumber varieties.
