MYC2, a bHLH TF, acts as regulatory hub within several signaling pathways by integration of various endogenous and exogenous signals which shape plant growth and development. However, its involvement in salt stress regulation is still elusive. This study has deciphered a novel role of MYC2 in imparting salt stress intolerance by regulating P5CS1 gene and hence proline synthesis. P5CS1 is a rate limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of proline. Y‐1‐H and EMSA studies confirmed the binding of MYC2 with the 5’ UTR region of P5CS1. Transcript and biochemical studies have revealed MYC2 as a negative regulator of proline biosynthesis. Proline is necessary for imparting tolerance towards abiotic stress however, its overaccumulation is toxic for the plants. Hence studying the regulation of proline biosynthesis is requisite to understand the mechanism of stress tolerance. We have also studied that MYC2 is regulated by MAPK cascade MKK3‐MPK6 and vice versa. Altogether, this study demonstrates salt stress mediated activation of MYC2 by MAPK cascade, regulating proline biosynthesis and thus salt stress. |
