A model to explain the regulatory effect of MdTyDc on apple’s alkaline stress response. Under alkaline stress, apple lines overexpressing MdTyDc showed increased photosynthetic pigment content and inhibited the increase of sodium ions, thus the photosynthetic capacity was enhanced and intracellular ion homeostasis was maintained, which may be realized by increasing dopamine content; In addition, overexpression of MdTyDc also improved the enzyme activity related to nitrogen metabolism, thus promoting nitrogen absorption. Therefore, the alkaline tolerance of transgenic apple plants was increased.
