Implication

Transgenic Arabidopsis shows enhanced tolerance to drought and salt stress after overexpressing PgUGT84K2 glycosyltransferase, suggesting potential for breeding resilient plants.

Key Points

The study aims to explore the role of PgUGT84K2 in glycosylation and its effects on stress tolerance in Arabidopsis.
Purification and activity identification of PgUGT84K2 using HPLC and LC/MS.
Heterologous overexpression of PgUGT84K2 in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Analysis of glycosylated metabolites and gene expression via quantitative RT-PCR.
Conducting drought and salt stress assays.
Transgenic Arabidopsis plants exhibited enhanced tolerance to drought and salt stress.
Improved germination, seedling greening, and survival rates compared to wild type.
Increased ROS scavenging activity in transgenic plants.
Up-regulation of key antioxidant and ABA biosynthesis genes, alongside down-regulation of ABA signalling repressors.
