ABSTRACT
Drought is one of the natural stresses that greatly impact plants. Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) is an oil crop with high economic value. Drought is one of the factors limiting castor bean growth. The drought resistance mechanisms of castor bean have become a research focus. In this study, we used castor germinating embryos as experimental materials, and screened genes related to drought resistance through physiological measurements, proteomics and metabolomics joint analysis; castor drought-related genes were subjected to transient silencing expression analysis in castor leaves to validate their drought-resistant functions, and heterologous overexpression and backward complementary expression in Arabidopsis thaliana, and analysed the mechanism of the genes' response to the participation of Arabidopsis thaliana in drought-resistance.Three drought tolerance-related genes, RcECP 63, RcDDX 31 and RcA/HD1, were obtained by screening and analysis, and transient silencing of expression in castor leaves further verified that these three genes corresponded to drought stress, and heterologous overexpression and back-complementary expression of the three genes in Arabidopsis thaliana revealed that the function of these three genes in drought stress response.In this study, three drought tolerance related genes, RcECP 63, RcDDX 31 and RcA/HD1, were screened and analysed for gene function, which were found to be responsive to drought stress and to function in drought stress, laying the foundation for the study of drought tolerance mechanism in castor bean.
