Abstract Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) was regarded to have the characteristic of moderate salt tolerance. It has become an important way during the full utilization of saline and alkali soil by searching salt-tolerant related genes, creating salt-tolerant germplasms and breeding salt-tolerant varieties in peanut. The peanut transcriptome database of salt tolerant mutant and mutagenic parent was used to screen the differentially expressed genes of late embryogenesis abundant proteins (Lea) family, and AhLea-D was obtained successfully. In order to make a further study on the role of the AhLea-D in peanut salt tolerance, the full length cDNA sequence of AhLea-D (GenBank No. MN393179) containing 534 bp was obtained by PCR amplification, which encoded an acidic protein with 177 amino acids, molecular weight 17.89 kD, theoretical isoelectric point 5.78. AhLea-D protein had average coefficient of hydrophilicity -0.983, instability index less than 40, and it belonged to the stable hydrophilic protein. AhLea-D was ligated to plasmid PCAMBIA1301 to construct the over-expression recombinant vector PCAMBIA1301-AhLea-D, which was then transferred to peanut variety 'Huayu23' by Agrobacterium-mediated pollen tube channel method. The pods from the infected flowers were harvested and the seeds were identified by PCR amplification method. The result showed the positive rate of transformation was about 52%. The expression level of AhLea-D gene was detected by qRT-PCR amplification, and the expression level of the transgenic plants were found to be 7~12 times higher than that of the non-transformed control plants. Transgenic plants and controls were treated with salt stress by irrigating 250 mmol/L NaCl. After a week of stress treatment, the control leaves showed obvious wilting and yellowing, while the transgenic plants showed no obvious changes. The photosynthesis parameter including photosynthetic net rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), and transpiration rate (Tr) were analyzed and determined, which showed that the Pn, Gs and Tr of transgenic plants were higher than those of the non-transgenic plants, and the Ci was lower in transgenic plants than non-transgenic plants. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) activities and malonic dialdehyde (MDA) content of the plants were also analyzed and determined, which showed that the activities of SOD, POD and CAT of transgenic plants were significantly higher than those of control plants (P<0.05), and the content of MDA was lower than that of the control plants. Based on the above results, it was speculated that over-expression of the AhLea-D gene increased the salt tolerance of the transgenic peanut plants by maintaining Pn and photosynthetic efficiency, and by keeping the activities of antioxidant enzymes to eliminate free radicals. The results might provide theoretical basis for developing a new stress-resistant breeding approach in peanut, and also provide a new salt tolerance candidate gene.
