Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of bZIP Gene Family and Resistance of TaABI5 (TabZIP96) under Freezing Stress in Wheat (Triticum aestivum).

ABSTRACT: The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) regulates plant growth and responds to stress as a key transcription factor of the Abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway. In this study, TabZIP genes were identified in wheat and the gene structure, physicochemical properties, cis-acting elements, and gene collinearity were analyzed. RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR analysis showed that ABA and abiotic stress induced most TabZIP genes expression. The ectopic expression of TaABI5 up-regulated the expression of several cold-responsive genes in Arabidopsis. Physiological indexes of seedlings of different lines under freezing stress showed that TaABI5 enhanced the freezing tolerance of plants. Subcellular localization showed that TaABI5 is localized in the nucleus. Furthermore, TaABI5 physically interacted with cold-resistant transcription factor TaICE1 in yeast two-hybrid system. In conclusion, this study identified and analyzed members of the TabZIP gene family in wheat. It proved for the first time that the gene TaABI5 affected the cold tolerance of transgenic plants and was convenient for us to understand the cold resistance molecular mechanism of TaABI5. These results will provide a new inspiration for further study on improving plant abiotic stress resistance.

Project description:The GRAS transcription factors are multifunctional proteins involved in various biological processes, encompassing plant growth, metabolism, and responses to both abiotic and biotic stresses. Wheat is an important cereal crop cultivated worldwide. However, no systematic study of the GRAS gene family and their functions under heat, drought, and salt stress tolerance and molecular dynamics modeling in wheat has been reported. In the present study, we identified the GRAS gene in Triticum aestivum through systematically performing gene structure analysis, chromosomal location, conserved motif, phylogenetic relationship, and expression patterns. A total of 177 GRAS genes were identified within the wheat genome. Based on phylogenetic analysis, these genes were categorically placed into 14 distinct subfamilies. Detailed analysis of the genetic architecture revealed that the majority of TaGRAS genes had no intronic regions. The expansion of the wheat GRAS gene family was proven to be influenced by both segmental and tandem duplication events. The study of collinearity events between TaGRAS and analogous orthologs from other plant species provided valuable insights into the evolution of the GRAS gene family in wheat. It is noteworthy that the promoter regions of TaGRAS genes consistently displayed an array of cis-acting elements that are associated with stress responses and hormone regulation. Additionally, we discovered 14 miRNAs that target key genes involved in three stress-responsive pathways in our study. Moreover, an assessment of RNA-seq data and qRT-PCR results revealed a significant increase in the expression of TaGRAS genes during abiotic stress. These findings highlight the crucial role of TaGRAS genes in mediating responses to different environmental stresses. Our research delved into the molecular dynamics and structural aspects of GRAS domain-DNA interactions, marking the first instance of such information being generated. Overall, the current findings contribute to our understanding of the organization of the GRAS genes in the wheat genome. Furthermore, we identified TaGRAS27 as a candidate gene for functional research, and to improve abiotic stress tolerance in the wheat by molecular breeding.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Abscisic acid-, stress-, and ripening-induced (ASR) genes are a class of plant specific transcription factors (TFs), which play important roles in plant development, growth and abiotic stress responses. The wheat ASRs have not been described in genome-wide yet. METHODS:We predicted the transmembrane regions and subcellular localization using the TMHMM server, and Plant-mPLoc server and CELLO v2.5, respectively. Then the phylogeny tree was built by MEGA7. The exon-intron structures, conserved motifs and TFs binding sites were analyzed by GSDS, MEME program and PlantRegMap, respectively. RESULTS:In wheat, 33ASR genes were identified through a genome-wide survey and classified into six groups. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that the TaASR proteins in the same group tightly clustered together, compared with those from other species. Duplication analysis indicated that the TaASR gene family has expanded mainly through tandem and segmental duplication events. Similar gene structures and conserved protein motifs of TaASRs in wheat were identified in the same groups. ASR genes contained various TF binding cites associated with the stress responses in the promoter region. Gene expression was generally associated with the expected group-specific expression pattern in five tissues, including grain, leaf, root, spike and stem, indicating the broad conservation of ASR genes function during wheat evolution. The qRT-PCR analysis revealed that several ASRs were up-regulated in response to NaCl and PEG stress. CONCLUSION:We identified ASR genes in wheat and found that gene duplication events are the main driving force for ASR gene evolution in wheat. The expression of wheat ASR genes was modulated in responses to multiple abiotic stresses, including drought/osmotic and salt stress. The results provided important information for further identifications of the functions of wheat ASR genes and candidate genes for high abiotic stress tolerant wheat breeding.
