Superoxide dismutases (SODs) play a pivotal role in improving abiotic stress tolerance in plant cells. A novel manganese superoxide dismutase gene, denoted as TmMnSOD, was identified from Triticum monococcum. The encoded protein displayed high sequence identity with MnSOD family members and was highly homologous to TdMnSOD from durum wheat. Furthermore, the 3D structure analysis revealed that TmMnSOD displayed homotetramer subunit organization, incorporating four Mn2+ ions. Notably, TmMnSOD structure contains predominantly alpha helices with three beta sheets. On the other hand, under stress conditions, TmMnSOD transcript level was significantly up-regulated by salt, oxidative and heavy metal stresses. At the functional level, TmMnSOD imparts tolerance of yeast and E. coli cells under diverse stresses. Promoter analysis of TmMnSOD gene showed the presence of a great number of salt and pathogen-responsive cis-regulatory elements, highlighting the interest of this gene in breeding programs towards improved tolerance to salt stress in wheat.
