Abstract: | Invertase (INV), a key enzyme in sucrose metabolism, irreversibly catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose, thus playing important
roles in plant growth, development, and biotic and abiotic stress responses. In this
study, we identified 27 members of the BnaINV family in Brassica napus. We
constructed a phylogenetic tree of the family and predicted the gene structures,
conserved motifs, cis-acting elements in promoters, physicochemical properties
of encoded proteins, and chromosomal distribution of the BnaINVs. We also analyzed the expression of the BnaINVs in different tissues and developmental stages
in the B. napus cultivar Zhongshuang 11 using qRT-PCR. In addition, we analyzed RNA-sequencing data to explore the expression patterns of the BnaINVs
in four cultivars with different harvest indices and in plants inoculated with the
pathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. We used WGCNA (weighted coexpression network analysis) to uncover BnaINVregulatory networks. Finally,
we explored the expression patterns of several BnaINV genes in cultivars with
long (Zhongshuang 4) and short (Ningyou 12) siliques. Our results suggest that
BnaINVs play important roles in the growth and development of rapeseed siliques
and the defense response against pathogens. Our findings could facilitate the
breeding of high-yielding B. napus cultivars with strong disease resistance. |
