中文摘要（谷歌機翻）

根系生長控制在植物對干旱脅迫的適應(yīng)中起著重要作用，但是這種控制的潛在分子機制仍然很難捉摸。

在此，從胡楊中分離出根特異性核因子Y（NF-Y）轉(zhuǎn)錄因子PdNF-YB21。PdNF-YB21的功能機制通過各種形態(tài)，生理，分子，生化和光譜學技術(shù)進行了表征。

楊樹中PdNF-YB21的過表達促進木質(zhì)部血管高度木質(zhì)化和擴大的根系生長，從而增加了抗旱性。相反，CRISPR / Cas9介導(dǎo)的楊樹突變體nf-yb21表現(xiàn)出降低的根系生長和抗旱性。PdNF-YB21與B3域轉(zhuǎn)錄因子PdFUSCA3（PdFUS3）相互作用。PdFUS3直接激活A(yù)BA合成關(guān)鍵基因PdNCED3的啟動子，導(dǎo)致水分缺乏的楊樹根ABA含量顯著增加。楊NF-YB21和FUS3的共表達顯著增強了PdNCED3的表達。

此外，ABA促進了IAA在根尖的轉(zhuǎn)運，終增加了根的生長和抗旱性。

英文摘要

Root growth control plays an important role in plant adaptation to drought stress, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of this control remain largely elusive.

Here, a root-specific nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) transcription factor PdNF-YB21 was isolated from Populus. The functional mechanism of PdNF-YB21 was characterized by various morphological, physiological, molecular, biochemical, and spectroscopy techniques.

Overexpression of PdNF-YB21 in poplar promoted root growth with highly lignified and enlarged xylem vessels, resulting in increased drought resistance. In contrast, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated poplar mutant nf-yb21 exhibited reduced root growth and drought resistance. PdNF-YB21 interacted with PdFUSCA3 (PdFUS3), a B3 domain transcription factor. PdFUS3 directly activated the promoter of the ABA synthesis key gene PdNCED3, resulting in a significant increase in root ABA content in poplars subjected to water deficit. Coexpression of poplar NF-YB21 and FUS3 significantly enhanced the expression of PdNCED3.

Furthermore, ABA promoted IAA transport in root tips, which ultimately increased root growth and drought resistance.
