Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Chitinase-like Genes in Petunia axillaris.

ABSTRACT: Chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) is a kind of chitin-degrading glycosidase, which plays important roles in the abiotic and biotic defense of plants. In this study, we conducted whole-genome annotation, molecular evolution, and gene expression analyses on the chitinase-like (CTL) gene family members of Petunia axillaris. Thirty-three Petunia axillarischitinase-like genes (PaCTLs) were identified from the latest Petunia genome database. According to the phylogenetic analyses, these genes were divided into GH18 and GH19 subgroups and further subdivided into five classes (Class I to Class V). Conserved motif arrangements indicated their functional relevance within each group. The expansion and homeology analyses showed that gene replication events played an important role in the evolution of PaCTLs and the increase of the GH18 subgroup members was the main reason for the expansion of the PaCTL gene family in the evolution progress. By qRT-PCR analysis, we found that most of the PaCTLs showed a very low expression level in the normal growing plants. But lots of PaCTLs showed upregulated expression profiles when the plants suffered different abiotic stress conditions. Among them, five PaCTLs responded to high temperature and exhibited significantly upregulate expression level. Correspondingly, many hormone responses, as well as biotic and abiotic stress elements were found in the promoters of PaCTLs by using cis-acting element analysis. These results provide a foundation for the exploration of PaCTLs' function and enrich the evolutionary process of the CTL gene family.

Project description:BackgroundThe U-box gene encodes a ubiquitin ligase that contain U-box domain. The plant U-box gene (PUB) plays an important role in the response to stresses, but few reports about PUBs in cotton were available. Therefore research on PUBs is of great importance and a necessity when studying the mechanisms of stress- tolerance in cotton.ResultsIn this study, we identified 93, 96, 185 and 208 PUBs from four sequenced cotton species G. raimondii (D5), G. arboreum (A2), G. hirsutum (AD1) and G. barbadense (AD2), respectively. Prediction analysis of subcellular localization showed that the PUBs in cotton were widely localized in cells, but primarily in the nucleus. The PUBs in cotton were classified into six subfamilies (A-F) on the basis of phylogenetic analysis, which was testified by the analysis of conserved motifs and exon-intron structures. Chromosomal localization analysis showed that cotton PUBs were unevenly anchored on all chromosomes, varying from 1 to 14 per chromosome. Through multiple sequence alignment analysis, 3 tandem duplications and 28 segmental duplications in cotton genome D5, 2 tandem duplications and 25 segmental duplications in A2, and 143 homologous gene pairs in A2 and D5 were found; however no tandem duplications in A2 or D5 were found. Additionally, 105, 14 and 17 homologous gene pairs were found in the intra-subgenome of At and Dt, At sub-genome and Dt sub-genome of G. hirsutum, respectively. Functional analysis of GhPUB85A and GhPUB45D showed that these genes positively responded to abiotic stresses, but the expression patterns were different. In addition, although the expression levels of these two homologous genes were similar, their contributions were different when responding to stresses, specifically showing different responses to abiotic stresses and functional differences between the two subgenomes of G. hirsutum.ConclusionsThis study reported the genome-wide identification, structure, evolution and expression analysis of PUBs in cotton, and the results showed that the PUBs were highly conserved throughout the evolutionary history of cotton. All PUB genes were involved in the response to abiotic stresses (including salt, drought, hot and cold) to varying degrees.
