| Abstract |
Receptor-like kinases (RLK) play fundamental roles in plant growth and stress responses. Compared with other RLKs, little information is provided concerning the S-locus LecRLK subfamily, which is characterized by an extracellular G-type lectin domain and an S-locus-glycop domain. Until now, the function of the G-type lectin domain is still unknown. In a previous research, we identified aGlycine sojaS-locus LecRLK geneGsSRK, which conferred increased salt stress tolerance in transgenicArabidopsis. In this study, to investigate the role of the G-type lectin domain and to breed transgenic alfalfa with superior salt stress tolerance, we transformed the full-lengthGsSRK(GsSRK-f) and a truncated version ofGsSRK(GsSRK-t) deleting the G-type lectin domain into alfalfa. Our results showed that overexpression ofGsSRK-t, but notGsSRK-f, resulted in changes of plant architecture, as evidenced by more branches but shorter shoots ofGsSRK-ttransgenic alfalfa, indicating a potential role of the extracellular G-type lectin domain in regulating plant architecture. Furthermore, we also found that transgenic alfalfa overexpressing eitherGsSRK-forGsSRK-tshowed increased salt stress tolerance, andGsSRK-ttransgenic alfalfa displayed better growth (more branches and higher fresh weight) thanGsSRK-flines under salt stress. In addition, our results suggested that bothGsSRK-fandGsSRK-twere involved in ion homeostasis, ROS scavenging, and osmotic regulation. Under salt stress, the Na+content in the transgenic lines was significantly lower, while the K+content was slightly higher than that in WT. Moreover, the transgenic lines displayed reduced ion leakage and MDA content, but increased SOD activity and proline content than WT. Notably, no obvious difference in these physiological indices was observed betweenGsSRK-fandGsSRK-ttransgenic lines, implying that deletion of theGsSRKG-type lectin domain does not affect its physiological function in salt stress responses. In conclusion, results in this research reveal the dual role ofGsSRKin regulating both plant architecture and salt stress responses. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 March 2018.
All research outputs
#18,590,133
of 23,026,672 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#14,015
of 20,560 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#257,053
of 330,912 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#373
of 467 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,026,672 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,560 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,912 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 467 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
