| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) family proteins play key roles in plant growth, development, stress responses, and other physiological processes. Here, we cloned the cytochrome P450 gene MsCYP71 in alfalfa and found that the expression of MsCYP71 was induced by drought stress. Silencing the MsCYP71 gene using virus-induced gene silencing technology significantly decreased the drought resistance of alfalfa, as indicated by their lower relative water content, net photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll fluorescence maximum (Fm); further, the heterologous overexpression of MsCYP71 in tobacco significantly enhanced the drought resistance and Fm of transgenic tobacco. Furthermore, the expression of MsCYP71 across 45 alfalfa accessions under drought stress was investigated. A significant positive correlation between drought resistance and MsCYP71 expression was observed. The 45 alfalfa accessions were clustered into four groups, and drought resistance, Fm, and MsCYP71 were higher in group I than in the other groups, indicating that group I accessions can be used as candidate germplasm resources for the breeding of drought-resistant alfalfa varieties. Overall, our findings indicated that MsCYP71 is a positive regulator of drought resistance in alfalfa, and its expression can be used to evaluate the drought resistance of alfalfa |
