Identification and expression analysis of expansin gene family in Salvia miltiorrhiza.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Expansins (EXP) are important enzymes that are involved in the extension of plant cells and regulation of root configurations, which play important roles in resisting various stresses. As a model medicinal plant, Salvia miltiorrhiza is well recognized for treating coronary heart disease, myocardial infection, and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; however, the SmEXP gene family has not yet been analyzed.

Methods

The SmEXP family was systematically analyzed using bioinformatics. Quantitative real-time PCR was employed to analyze the tissue expression patterns of the SmEXP family, as well as its expression under abscisic acid (ABA) treatment and abiotic stress. Subcellular localization assay revealed the localization of SmEXLA1, SmEXLB1, and SmEXPA2.
