Abstract: In order to investigate the response mechanism of CBF gene in the regulation of plant to the salt stress, the plant over-expression vectors of VaCBF1, VaCBF2 and VaCBF3 from Vitis amurensis were constructed. The results by restriction enzyme digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis showed that 3 genes were correctly inserted into pBASTA, indicating that the expression vectors were successfully constructed. Then, 3 over-expressed vectors were transformed into Agrobacterimu tumefaciens EHA105, and Arabidopsis thaliana was leached using floral dip method. The transgenic plants of A. thaliana with over-expression of 3 genes were screened by herbicide Basta. Furthermore, wild and transgenic plants were treated with salt stress. The results revealed that the elongation length of primary root of OE-CBF2 transgenic plant was longer than others, and the lateral roots in 3 genes transgenic plants were longer than wild ones. These results indicate that the CBF genes of V. amurensis play the critical regulation role in the root development during salt stress.
