Abstract
The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) is one of the largest gene family in plants, and play important role in regulating plant growth, development and abiotic stress response. However, PPR genes have been poorly studied in grapes. In this study, based on the grape genome database, bioinformatics methods and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) were used to identify the VvPPR family and the response to abiotic stress. A total of 181 PPR genes were identified in grape and divided into two subfamilies. Subcellular localization predicted that this gene family mainly functions in chloroplasts, nucleus, and mitochondria. Protein-protein interaction prediction indicated that there may be interaction between VvPPR44,53 and VvPPR44. The promoter region of VvPPR gene family contained various cis-acting elements, which were related to light and hormone. Expression pattern analysis showed that the VvPPR gene family was highly expressed in grape leaves, buds and carpel tissues. qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of VvPPR genes in roots was higher than stems and leaves under NAA, SA, ABA, MeJA and GA3 treatments. VvPPR8 was significantly up-regulated after GA3 and MeJA treatment for 24 h, VvPPR53 was significantly up-regulated after SA, NAA, ABA and MeJA treatment. In addition, In grape leaves, VvPPR53 was up-regulated under PEG, Nacl and 4 ℃ treatments. These data indicate that VvPPR gene family members are responsive to hormones and abiotic stresses, and that there are some differences in the degree of response and expression in different grape tissues. This study provides a certain theoretical basis for grape resistance breeding.
