Sunflower occupies the fourth position among oilseed crops the around the world. Eceriferum (CER) is an important gene family that plays critical role in very-long-chain fatty acids elongation and biosynthesis of epicuticular waxes under both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of sunflower CER genes during drought stress condition. Thus, comparative analysis was undertaken for sunflower CER genes with Arabidopsis genome to determine phylogenetic relationship, chromosomal mapping, gene structures, gene ontology and conserved motifs. Furthermore, we subjected the sunflower cultivars under drought stress and used qRT-PCR analysis to explore the expression pattern of CER genes during drought conditions. We identified thirty-seven unevenly distributed CER genes in the sunflower genome. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that CER genes were grouped into seven clades in Arabidopsis, Helianthus annuus, and Gossypium hirsutum. Expression analysis showed that genes CER10 and CER60 were upregulated in sunflower during drought conditions, indicating that these genes are activated during drought stress. The results obtained will serve to characterize the CER gene family in sunflower and exploit the role of these genes in wax biosynthesis under limited water conditions .Key messageCuticular waxes protect the plants from drought stress, so we observed the expression of wax bio synthesis genes in recently sequences genome of Helianthus annuus. We observed that expression of wax biosynthesis genes CER10 and CER60 was upregulated when the plants were subjected to drought stress. 相似文献

Plant-specific BURP domain-containing proteins have an essential role in the plant''s development and stress responses. Although BURP domain-containing proteins have been identified in several plant species, genome-wide analysis of the BURP gene family has not been investigated in the common bean. In the present study, we identified 11 BURP family members in the common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris) genome with a comprehensive in silico analysis. Pairwise alignment and phylogenetic analyses grouped PvBURP members into four subfamilies [RD-22 like (3), PG1β-like (4), BNM2-like (3), and USP-like (1)] according to their amino acid motifs, protein domains and intron–exon structure. The physical and biochemical characteristics of amino acids, motif and intron–exon structure, and cis-regulatory elements of BURPs members were determined. Promoter regions of BURP members included stress, light, and hormone response-related cis-elements. Therefore, expression profiles of PvBURP genes were identified with in silico tools and qRT-PCR analyses under stress (salt and drought) and hormone treatment (ABA, IAA) in the current study. While significant activity changes were not observed in BURP genes in RNA-seq data sets related to salt stress, it was determined that some BURP genes were expressed differently in those with drought stress. We identified 12 different miRNA, including miRNA395, miRNA156, miRNA169, miRNA171, miRNA319, and miRNA390, targeting the nine PvBURP genes using two different in silico tools based on perfect or near‐perfect complementarity to their targets. Here we present the first study to identify and characterize the BURP genes in common bean using whole-genome analysis, and the findings may serve as a reference for future functional research in common bean.

Plant annexins are a kind of conserved Ca 2+-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins which are involved in plant growth, development and stress tolerance. Radish is an economically important annual or biennial root vegetable crop worldwide. However, the genome-wide characterization of annexin ( RsANN) gene family remain largely unexplored in radish. In this study, a comprehensive identification of a nnexin gene family was performed at the whole genome level in radish. In total, ten RsANN genes were identified, and these putative RsANN proteins shared typical characteristics of the annexin family proteins. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the RsANNs together with annexin from Arabidopsis and rice were clustered into five groups with shared similar motif patterns. Chromosomal localization showed that these ten RsANN genes were distributed on six chromosomes (R3-R8) of radish. Several cis-elements involved in abiotic stress response were identified in the promoter regions of RsANN genes. Expression profile analysis indicated that the RsANN genes exhibited tissue-specific patterns at different growth stages and tissues. The Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) revealed that the expression of most RsANN genes was induced under various abiotic stresses including heat, drought, salinity, oxidization and ABA stress. In addition, stress assays showed that overexpression of RsANN1a improved plant’s growth and heat tolerance, while artificial microRNAs (amiRNA)-mediated knockdown of RsANN1a caused dramatically decreased survival ratio of Arabidopsis plants. These findings not only demonstrate that RsANN1a might play a critical role in the heat stress response of radish, but also facilitate clarifying the molecular mechanism of RsANN genes in regulating the biological process governing plant growth and development.

Auxin response factor (ARF) acts as a vital component of auxin signaling and participates in growth, development, and stress responses in plants. In the present study, we comprehensively analyzed kiwifruit’s ( Actinidia chinensis) ARF genes ( AcARFs) and their involvement in abiotic stress response. We identified a total of 41 AcARFs encoding ARFs in the A. chinensis genome. AcARF genes were characterized by the classic ARF_resp and a B3 domain and primarily localized on the cytoplasm and nucleus. AcARFs were categorized into eight subgroups as per the phylogenetic analysis. Synteny analysis showed that 35 gene pairs in AcARF family underwent segmental and whole genome duplication events. Promoter cis-element prediction revealed that AcARFs might be involved in abiotic factors related to stress response, which was later assessed and validated by qRT-PCR based expression analysis. Additionally, AcARFs showed tissue-specific expression. These findings extend our understanding of the functional roles of AcARFs in stress responses. Taken together, the systematic annotation of the AcARF family genes provides a platform for the functional and evolutionary study, which might help in elucidating the precise roles of the AcARFs in stress responses.

Cotton crop suffers shortage of irrigation water at reproductive stage which reduces the yield and fibre quality. Universal stress proteins belong to Pfam00582 which enables several plants to cope with multiple stresses via ATP binding. GUSP1 ( Gossypium arboreum USP) is one of such proteins; its amino acids were mutated after in silico simulations including homology modeling and molecular docking analysis. Transgenic cotton plants were developed through Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation by using mutated pmGP1 and non mutated pGP1 constructs under CaMV35S promoter. PCR and semi-quantitative PCR analyses confirmed the amplification and expression of transgene in transgenic plants. It was revealed that leaf relative water content, total chlorophyll content, CO 2 assimilation as net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, total soluble sugars and proline content was significantly increased at P ≤ 0.0001 and P ≤ 0.001 in both the pmGP1 and pGP1 transgenic plants as compared to non transgenic control plants. Moreover, relative membrane permeability and the transpiration rate were reduced significantly at P ≤ 0.0001 and P ≤ 0.001 respectively in transgenic plants under drought stress. Furthermore, the T1 transgenic seedlings containing pmGP1 mutated construct showed longer roots under desiccation stress imposed by 5% PEG. Transgene inheritance into the T1 progeny plants was confirmed by amplification through PCR and integration through Southern blot. Hence, our results pave the way to utilize the mutagenized known genes for increasing endurance of plants under drought stress. This will help to increase our understanding of drought tolerance/ sensitivity in cotton plants at the molecular level.

Continuous exploratory use of tree species is threatening the existence of several plants in South America. One of these threatened species is Myracroduron urundeuva, highly exploited due to the high quality and durability of its wood. The chloroplast (cp) has been used for several evolutionary studies as well traceability of timber origin, based on its gene sequences and simple sequence repeats (SSR) variability. Cp genome organization is usually consisting of a large single copy and a small single copy region separated by two inverted repeats regions. We sequenced the complete cp genome from M. urundeuva based on Illumina next-generation sequencing. Our results show that the cp genome is 159,883 bp in size. The 36 SSR identified ranging from mono- to hexanucleotides. Positive selection analysis revealed nine genes related to photosystem, protein synthesis, and DNA replication, and protease are under positive selection. Genome comparison a other Anacardiaceae chloroplast genomes showed great variability in the family. The phylogenetic analysis using complete chloroplast genome sequences of other Anacardiaceae family members showed a close relationship with two other economically important genera, Pistacia and Rhus. These results will help future investigations of timber monitoring and population and evolutionary studies.

PurposeTo analyze the complete genome sequence of the Brevibacterium frigoritolerans ZB201705, a Brevibacterium strain was isolated from the maize rhizosphere in drought- and salt-stressed soil, and the activity of the strain under simulated drought and high salt conditions was assessed. MethodsWe used a combination of the PacBio RS and Illumina sequencing platforms to obtain the complete genome sequence of B. frigoritolerans ZB201705. ResultsThe genome consists of 5,475,560 bp in a linear chromosome with no gaps, 4,391 protein-coding sequences, 39 ribosomal RNAs, and 81 transfer RNAs. The genome analysis revealed many putative gene clusters involved in defense mechanisms. In addition, an activity analysis of the strain under high-salt and simulated drought conditions helped clarify its potential tolerance to these abiotic stresses. ConclusionsOur data revealed the complete genome sequence of the new isolated strain, and showed that it produces many proteins involved in drought and salt stress responses, suggesting that B. frigoritolerans ZB201705 may be a potential factor to increase crop yield under abiotic stresses. The information provided here on the genome of B. frigoritolerans ZB201705 provides valuable insight into rhizobacteria-mediated plant salt and drought tolerance and rhizobacteria-based solutions for agriculture under abiotic stress. 相似文献

Drought stress is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting lint yield and fibre quality in cotton. With increase in population, degrading natural resources and frequent drought occurrences, development of high yielding, drought tolerant cotton cultivars is critical for sustainable cotton production across countries. Six Gossypium hirsutum genotypes identified for drought tolerance, wider adaptability and better fibre quality traits were characterized for various morpho-physiological and biochemical characters and their molecular basis was investigated under drought stress. Under drought conditions, genotypes revealed statistically significant differences for all the morpho-physiological and biochemical traits. The interaction (genotype × treatment) effects were highly significant for root length, excised leaf water loss and cell membrane thermostability indicating differential interaction of genotypes under control and stress conditions. Correlation studies revealed that under drought stress, relative water content had significant positive correlation with root length and root-to-shoot ratio while it had significant negative correlation with excised leaf water loss, epicuticular wax, proline, potassium and total soluble sugar content. Analysis of expression of fourteen drought stress related genes under water stress indicated that both ABA dependent and ABA independent mechanisms of drought tolerance might be operating differentially in the studied genotypes. IC325280 and LRA5166 exhibited ABA mediated expression of stress responsive genes and traits. Molecular basis of drought tolerance in IC357406, Suraj, IC259637 and CNH 28I genotypes could be attributed to ABA independent pathway. Based on physiological phenotyping, the genotypes IC325280 and IC357406 were identified to possess better root traits and LRA5166 was found to have enhanced cellular level tolerance. Variety Suraj exhibited good osmotic adjustment and better root traits to withstand water stress. The identified drought component trait(s) in specific genotypes would pave way for their pyramiding through marker assisted cotton breeding.

Ankyrin repeat (ANK) C3HC4-type RING finger (RF) genes comprise a large family in plants and play important roles in various physiological processes of plant life. In this study, we identified 187 ANK C3HC4-type RF proteins from 29 species with complete genomes and named the ANK C3HC4-type RF proteins the XB3-like proteins because they are structurally related to the rice ( Oryza sativa) XB3. A phylogenetic relationship analysis suggested that the XB3-like genes originated from ferns, and the encoded proteins fell into 3 major groups. Among these groups, we found that the spacing between the metal ligand position 6 and 7, and the conserved residues, which was in addition to the metal ligand amino acids, in the C3HC4-type RF were different. Using a wide range of protein structural analyses, protein models were established, and all XB3-like proteins were found to contain two to seven ANKs and a C3HC4-type RF. The microarray data for the XB3-like genes of Arabidopsis, Oryza sative, Zea mays and Glycine max revealed that the expression of XB3-like genes was in different tissues and during different life stages. The preferential expression of XB3-like genes in specified tissues and the response to phytohormone and abiotic stress treatments of Arabidopsis and Zea mays not only confirmed the microarray analysis data but also demonstrated that the XB3-like proteins play roles in plant growth and development as well as in stress responses. Our data provide a very useful reference for the identification and functional analysis of members of this gene family and also provide a new method for the genome-wide analysis of gene families. 相似文献
