Overexpressing MfJAZ1 in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana reduces low-temperature survival, lowers CAT activity, and raises MDA, while the atjaz1 mutant shows the opposite pattern.
- Why it matters: The role of MfJAZ1 in cold tolerance of Medicago falcata is unclear, limiting understanding of how JA signaling components shape stress resilience.
- What they did: MfJAZ1 was cloned from Medicago falcata cv. Hulunbuir; its nuclear-localized expression was induced by low temperature and other stresses, and transgenic Arabidopsis lines were compared under cold stress.
- The result: Cold-responsive gene expression was lower in MfJAZ1 overexpressors than in WT and significantly lower than in atjaz1, and promoter/interaction assays implicated MfClpP and MfFdC2 with MfJAZ1.
