Abstract
Soil salinity affects the normal growth and development of crops, resulting in reduced crop yields. In the process of long-term adaptation, plants have evolved targeted salt-resistant molecular mechanisms. The calcineurin B-like protein (CBL) and CBL-interaction protein kinase (CIPK) are involved in plant response to salt stress. In this study, we identified an AtSOS2 homologous gene ZmCIPK24-2. The results of real time-qPCR showed that ZmCIPK24-2 gene was ubiquitously expressed in maize, especially in pollen, and was induced by salt stress. It was found that ZmCIPK24-2 could partially complement the salt-sensitive phenotype of the atsos2 mutant. The survival rate and the root length of ZmCIPK24-2-overexpressed lines were significantly increased compared with atsos2 mutant under high salt concentration. Subcellular localization experiments showed that ZmCIPK24-2 was localized in cytoplasm, cell membrane, and nuclear membrane. Yeast two-hybrid experiments and LUC complementation imaging assays showed that ZmCIPK24-2 was interacted with ZmCBL1, ZmCBL4, ZmCBL8, and ZmCBL9, respectively. This study provides a new experimental evidence for the functional analysis of CBL-CIPK signaling pathway in maize.
