Abstract
Potassium deficiency confines root growth and decreases root-to-shoot ratio, thereby limiting root K+ acquisition. This study aimed to identify the regulation network of microRNA319 involved in low-K+ stress tolerance in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). SlmiR319b-OE roots demonstrated a smaller root system, a lower number of root hairs and lower K+ content under low-K+ stress. We identified SlTCP10 as the target of miR319b using a modified RLM-RACE procedure from some SlTCPs’ predictive complementarity to miR319b. Then, SlTCP10-regulated SlJA2 (an NAC transcription factor) influenced the response to low-K+ stress. CR-SlJA2 (CRISPR-Cas9-SlJA2) lines showed the same root phenotype to SlmiR319-OE compared with WT lines. OE-SlJA2(Overexpression-SlJA2) lines showed higher root biomass, root hair number and K+ concentration in the roots under low-K+ conditions. Furthermore, SlJA2 has been reported to promote abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis. Therefore, SlJA2 increases low-K+ tolerance via ABA. In conclusion, enlarging root growth and K+ absorption by the expression of SlmiR319b-regulated SlTCP10, mediating SlJA2 in roots, could provide a new regulation mechanism for increasing K+ acquisition efficiency under low-K+ stress.
