Annexins are a superfamily of soluble calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that have considerable regulatory effects in plants, especially in response to adversity and stress. The Arabidopsis thaliana AtAnn1 gene has been reported to play a significant role in various abiotic stress responses. In our study, the cDNA of an annexin gene highly similar to AtAnn1 was isolated from the cassava genome and named MeAnn2 . It contains domains specific to annexins, including four annexin repeat sequences (I-IV), a Ca 2+ -binding sequence, Ca 2+ -independent membrane-binding-related tryptophan residues, and a salt bridge-related domain. MeAnn2 is localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm, and it was found to be preferentially expressed in the storage roots of cassava. The overexpression of MeAnn2 reduced the sensitivity of transgenic Arabidopsis to various Ca 2+ , NaCl, and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) concentrations. The expression of the stress resistance-related gene AtRD29B and auxin signaling pathway-related genes AtIAA4 and AtLBD18 in transgenic Arabidopsis was significantly increased under salt stress, while the Malondialdehyde (MDA) content was significantly lower than that of the control. These results indicate that the MeAnn2 gene may increase the salt tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis via the IAA signaling pathway.
