Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the CBF/DREB1 gene family in lettuce.

ABSTRACT: The C-repeat binding factor (CBF)/dehydration-responsive element binding (DREB1) proteins play a prominent role in freezing tolerance and are highly conserved in higher plants. Here we performed a genome-wide search of the CBF/DREB1 gene family in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and identified 14 members of the family with one member gene containing a non-sense mutation within the AP2 DNA-binding domain. A comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the CBF/DREB1 family members in 20 plant species from the Asterid or Rosid clade provided evidence that tandem duplication played an important role in the expansion of the CBF/DREB1 family. Expression analysis showed that twelve of the lettuce CBF genes were responsive to low temperature (4?°C), and that three and six of them could also be responsive to salt and heat stresses, respectively. Unlike Arabidopsis thaliana whose members of the CBF/DREB1 family respond only to a particular stress, lettuce CBFs provide wider protection from combinations of abiotic stresses. A global transcriptome analysis revealed distinctive temporal expression patterns among the cold-regulated genes in lettuce plants exposed to low temperature. Genes induced throughout the cold treatment are enriched in functions associated with protection from UV and high-light intensity and the genes suppressed after 7 days of cold exposure are enriched in photosynthesis-associated functions. These results provide insight into the molecular evolutionary properties of the CBF/DREB1 gene family in lettuce and a reference for genetic improvement of the lettuce response to cold acclimation.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Heat shock proteins 90 (HSP90s) are a highly conserved protein family of cellular chaperones widely found in plants; they play a fundamental role in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. The genome-wide analysis of HSP90 gene family has been completed for some species; however, it has been rarely reported for the tobacco HSP90 genes. RESULTS:In this study, we systematically conducted genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the tobacco HSP90 gene family, including gene structures, evolutionary relationships, chromosomal locations, conserved domains, and expression patterns. Twenty-one NtHSP90s were identified and classified into eleven categories (NtHSP90-1 to NtHSP90-11) based on phylogenetic analysis. The conserved structures and motifs of NtHSP90 proteins in the same subfamily were highly consistent. Most NtHSP90 proteins contained the ATPase domain, which was closely related to conserved motif 2. Motif 5 was a low complexity sequence and had the function of signal peptide. At least 6 pairs of NtHSP90 genes underwent gene duplication, which arose from segment duplication and tandem duplication events. Phylogenetic analysis showed that most species expanded according to their own species-specific approach during the evolution of HSP90s. Dynamic expression analysis indicated that some NtHSP90 genes may play fundamental roles in regulation of abiotic stress response. The expression of NtHSP90-4, NtHSP90-5, and NtHSP90-9 were up-regulated, while NtHSP90-6, and NtHSP90-7 were not induced by ABA, drought, salt, cold and heat stresses. Among the five treatments, NtHSP90s were most strongly induced by heat stress, and weakly activated by ABA treatment. There was a similar response pattern of NtHSP90s under osmotic stress, or extreme temperature stress. CONCLUSIONS:This is the first genome-wide analysis of Hsp90 in N. tabacum. These results indicate that each NtHSP90 member fulfilled distinct functions in response to various abiotic stresses.

Project description:The LOX genes have been identified and characterized in many plant species, but studies on the banana LOX genes are very limited. In this study, we respectively identified 18 MaLOX, 11 MbLOX, and 12 MiLOX genes from the Musa acuminata, M. balbisiana and M. itinerans genome data, investigated their gene structures and characterized the physicochemical properties of their encoded proteins. Banana LOXs showed a preference for using and ending with G/C and their encoded proteins can be classified into 9-LOX, Type I 13-LOX and Type II 13-LOX subfamilies. The expansion of the MaLOXs might result from the combined actions of genome-wide, tandem, and segmental duplications. However, tandem and segmental duplications contribute to the expansion of MbLOXs. Transcriptome data based gene expression analysis showed that MaLOX1, 4, and 7 were highly expressed in fruit and their expression levels were significantly regulated by ethylene. And 11, 12 and 7 MaLOXs were found to be low temperature-, high temperature-, and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cubense tropical race 4 (FocTR4)-responsive, respectively. MaLOX8, 9 and 13 are responsive to all the three stresses, MaLOX4 and MaLOX12 are high temperature- and FocTR4-responsive; MaLOX6 and MaLOX17 are significantly induced by low temperature and FocTR4; and the expression of MaLOX7 and MaLOX16 are only affected by high temperature. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that the expression levels of several MaLOXs are regulated by MeJA and FocTR4, indicating that they can increase the resistance of banana by regulating the JA pathway. Additionally, the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of MaLOXs revealed 3 models respectively for 5 (MaLOX7-11), 3 (MaLOX6, 13, and 17), and 1 (MaLOX12) MaLOX genes. Our findings can provide valuable information for the characterization, evolution, diversity and functionality of MaLOX, MbLOX and MiLOX genes and are helpful for understanding the roles of LOXs in banana growth and development and adaptations to different stresses.
