Identification and bioinformatic analysis of Aux/IAA family based on transcriptome data of Bletilla striata.

ABSTRACT: Auxin/Indole-3-Acetic Acid (Aux/IAA) genes are involved in auxin signaling pathway and play an important role in plant growth and development. However, many studies focus on Aux/IAA gene families and much less known in Bletilla striata. In this study, a total of 27 Aux/IAA genes (BsIAA1-27) were cloned from the transcriptome of Bletilla striata. Based on a phylogenetic analysis of the Aux/IAA protein sequences from B. striata, Arabidopsis thaliana and Dendrobium officinale, the Aux/IAA genes of B. striata (BsIAAs) were categorized into 2 subfamilies and 9 groups. While BsIAAs were more closer to those of D. officinale compared to A. thaliana. EST-SSR marker mining test showed that 4 markers could be stably amplified with obvious polymorphisms among 4 landraces. Our results suggested that BsIAAs were involved in the process of tuber development and provided insights into functional roles of Aux/IAA genes in B. striata and other plants.
