LbGeBP1 is highly expressed early in salt gland development in Limonium bicolor and negatively regulates salt gland development and salt tolerance.
- Why it matters: GeBP family roles in coordinating salt gland formation with salt tolerance in Limonium bicolor are unclear, limiting understanding of how plants manage salt stress.
- What they did: The study measured LbGeBP1 expression and nuclear localization, then used overexpression and knockout to test function; it also identified LbBLH9 binding to the LbGeBP1 promoter and assessed genetic interactions via silencing.
- The result: LbBLH9, expressed in salt glands, represses LbGeBP1; silencing LbBLH9 in an LbGeBP1-overexpression background increased LbGeBP1 and worsened gland and secretion defects, while co-silencing partially rescued them.
