Genome-wide identification of bZIP transcription factors and their expression analysis in Platycodon grandiflorus under abiotic stress. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1403220. [PMID: 38863542 PMCID: PMC11165138 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1403220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
The Basic Leucine Zipper (bZIP) transcription factors (TFs) family is among of the largest and most diverse gene families found in plant species, and members of the bZIP TFs family perform important functions in plant developmental processes and stress response. To date, bZIP genes in Platycodon grandiflorus have not been characterized. In this work, a number of 47 PgbZIP genes were identified from the genome of P. grandiflorus, divided into 11 subfamilies. The distribution of these PgbZIP genes on the chromosome and gene replication events were analyzed. The motif, gene structure, cis-elements, and collinearity relationships of the PgbZIP genes were simultaneously analyzed. In addition, gene expression pattern analysis identified ten candidate genes involved in the developmental process of different tissue parts of P. grandiflorus. Among them, Four genes (PgbZIP5, PgbZIP21, PgbZIP25 and PgbZIP28) responded to drought and salt stress, which may have potential biological roles in P. grandiflorus development under salt and drought stress. Four hub genes (PgbZIP13, PgbZIP30, PgbZIP32 and PgbZIP45) mined in correlation network analysis, suggesting that these PgbZIP genes may form a regulatory network with other transcription factors to participate in regulating the growth and development of P. grandiflorus. This study provides new insights regarding the understanding of the comprehensive characterization of the PgbZIP TFs for further exploration of the functions of growth and developmental regulation in P. grandiflorus and the mechanisms for coping with abiotic stress response.

Comparative mitochondrial genome analysis reveals a candidate ORF for cytoplasmic male sterility in tropical onion. 3 Biotech 2024; 14:6. [PMID: 38074291 PMCID: PMC10700285 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-023-03850-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has been widely exploited for hybrid seed production in onions (Allium cepa L.). In contrast to long-day onion cultivars, short-day onion has not yet been investigated for mitochondrial genome structure and DNA rearrangements associated with CMS activity. Here, we report the 3,16,321 bp complete circular mitochondrial genome of tropical onion CMS line (97A). Due to the substantial number of repetitive regions, the assembled mitochondrial genome of maintainer line (97B) remained linear with 15 scaffolds. Additionally, 13 and 20 chloroplast-derived fragments with a size ranging from 143 to 13,984 bp and 153-17,725 bp were identified in the 97A and 97B genomes, respectively. Genome annotation revealed 24 core protein-coding genes along with 24 and 28 tRNA genes in the mitochondrial genomes of 97A and 97B, respectively. Furthermore, comparative genome analysis of the 97A and 97B mitochondrial genomes showed that gene content was almost similar except for the chimeric ORF725 gene which is the extended form of the COX1 gene.

[PMID: 37710161 PMCID: PMC10503039 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-023-04425-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family is a predominant group of transcription factors in plants, involved in regulating plant growth, development, and response to stressors. Additionally, the bZIP gene family has a key role in anthocyanin production. Despite the significant role of bZIP genes in plants, their potential contribution in lotus remains understudied. RESULTS A total of 124 bZIP genes (59 NnbZIPs and 65 NlbZIPs) were identified from genomes of two lotus species. These genes were classified into 13 groups according to the grouping principle of the Arabidopsis bZIP gene family. Analysis of promoter cis-acting elements indicated that most bZIP gene family members in lotus are associated with response to abiotic stresses. The promoters of some bZIP genes contain MYB binding sites that regulate anthocyanin synthesis. We examined the anthocyanin content of the petals from three different colored lotus, combined with transcriptome data analysis and qRT-PCR results, showing that the expression trends of NnbZIP36 and the homologous gene NlbZIP38 were significantly correlated with the anthocyanin content in lotus petals. Furthermore, we found that overexpression of NnbZIP36 in Arabidopsis promoted anthocyanin accumulation by upregulating the expression of genes (4CL, CHI, CHS, F3H, F3'H, DFR, ANS and UF3GT) related to anthocyanin synthesis. CONCLUSIONS Our study enhances the understanding of the bZIP gene family in lotus and provides evidence for the role of NnbZIP36 in regulating anthocyanin synthesis. This study also sets the stage for future investigations into the mechanism by which the bZIP gene family regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis in lotus.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1197781. [PMID: 37324688 PMCID: PMC10264818 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1197781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The Brassica napus (B. napus) LOR (Lurp-One-Related) gene family is a little-known gene family characterized by a conserved LOR domain in the proteins. Limited research in Arabidopsis showed that LOR family members played important roles in Hyaloperonospora parasitica (Hpa) defense. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of research investigating the role of the LOR gene family towards their responses to abiotic stresses and hormone treatments. This study encompassed a comprehensive survey of 56 LOR genes in B. napus, which is a prominent oilseed crop that holds substantial economic significance in China, Europe, and North America. Additionally, the study evaluated the expression profiles of these genes in response to salinity and ABA stress. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 56 BnLORs could be divided into 3 subgroups (8 clades) with uneven distribution on 19 chromosomes. 37 out of 56 BnLOR members have experienced segmental duplication and 5 of them have undergone tandem repeats events with strong evidence of purifying selection. Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) analysis indicated that BnLORs involved in process such as light response, hormone response, low temperature response, heat stress response, and dehydration response. The expression pattern of BnLOR family members revealed tissue specificity. RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR were used to validate BnLOR gene expression under temperature, salinity and ABA stress, revealing that most BnLORs showed inducibility. This study enhanced our comprehension of the B. napus LOR gene family and could provide valuable information for identifying and selecting genes for stress resistant breeding.
