毛竹茎秆伸长过程中赤霉素生物合成、降解和信号转导关键基因的鉴定及表达分析

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of gibberellin biosynthesis, metabolism and signaling family genes in Phyllostachys edulis

赤霉素(Gibberellin)是一类非常重要的植物激素,在高等植物生命活动的整个周期都起着重要的调控作用。从毛竹Phyllostachys edulis基因组中共鉴定出23个赤霉素途径基因,包括赤霉素生物合成相关的8个GA20ox和1个GA3ox基因、降解相关的8个GA2ox基因、参与赤霉素感知的2个GID1基因以及信号转导的2个GID2基因和2个DELLA基因。拟南芥、水稻和毛竹的系统进化树和保守基序分析显示赤霉素的合成代谢与信号转导在这些物种中是高度保守的。利用外源赤霉素处理毛竹种子和幼苗,发现赤霉素能显著提高种子的萌发率和幼苗的茎秆伸长,并且有着最佳的作用浓度。在GA3处理后,毛竹体内赤霉素生物合成基因GA20ox和GA3ox表达量均下调而降解活性赤霉素的GA2ox基因表达量上调;赤霉素受体GID1和正调控基因GID2的转录水平显著提高而负调控基因DELLA的表达受到抑制。这些基因在竹笋茎秆的不同形态学位置表达差异明显,大部分赤霉素生物合成与降解的相关基因GA20ox、GA3ox和GA2ox以及赤霉素受体GID1和正调控基因GID2都在竹笋的形态学上端大量表达,而赤霉素信号转导的阻遏基因DELLA在笋体形态学底端大量积累而顶端基本不表达。

Gibberellin is an essential plant hormone that plays an important regulatory role throughout the life cycle of higher plants.A total of 23 genes involved in gibberellin action were identified from Phyllostachys edulis genome,including 8 GA20ox and 1 GA3ox genes involved in the gibberellin biosynthesis,8 GA2ox genes involved in the metabolism of gibberellin,2 GID1 genes involved in gibberellin perception,2 GID2 genes and 2 DELLA genes involved in gibberellin signal transduction.Phylogenetic analysis of these genes from Arabidopsis,Oryza sativa and Phyllostachys edulis revealed that gibberellin biosynthesis,metabolism,and signaling pathways are conserved in these species.Treatment of seeds and seedlings of bamboo with exogenous gibberellin revealed that gibberellin significantly increased seed germination rate and stem elongation of seedlings,and had the best concentration of action.The expression levels of GA20 ox and GA3 ox genes in the bamboo seedlings were down-regulated and the expression of the active gibberellin-degrading gene GA2ox was up-regulated after GA3 treatment,and the transcriptional level of the gibberellin receptor GID1 and the positive regulatory gene GID2 was significantly increased while the expression of the negative regulatory gene DELLA was decreased.These genes have significant differences in the expression of different spatial locations of bamboo shoot stems,GA20 ox,GA3 ox,GA2ox,GID1 and GID2 are all expressed in the upper part of bamboo shoots,while the repressor gene DELLA accumulates at the bottom of the shoots and is hardly expressed at the top.
