Abstract: In order to investigate the function of ZjAPX(Zizyphus jujuba ascorbate peroxidase )in response of plant to osmotic stress.In this study, ZjAPX gene was introduced into Arabidopsis. Wild type(WT)and transgenic type of Arabidopsis were used to the NaCl osmoticstress and drought stress. These results suggested that transgenic seeds germination and seedlings growth were both better than the wild-type.At 10 days to be treated with NaCl osmotic stress and drought stress, real-time quantitative PCR detection showed that the transcription level ofZjAPX in transgenic plants was significantly higher than wide type. These results suggest that high expression of ZjAPX increased plant NaClosmotic stress and drought tolerance.
