Abstract
D-ononitol epimerase (OEP) catalyzes the conversion of D-ononitol to D-pinitol, which is the last step in the biosynthetic pathway, where myo-inositol is converted to pinitol in higher plants. In this study, OEP cDNA was isolated from Glycine max (GmOEP) and was functionally characterized, which confirmed that GmOEP expression was induced by high salinity and drought stress treatments. To understand the biological function of GmOEP, transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing this protein were constructed. The transgenic Arabidopsis plants displayed enhanced tolerance to high salinity and drought stress treatments.
