This study aims to identify the heme oxygenase(HO) gene family members of B. chinense and B. scorzonerifolium, and assess their role in the root development in Bupleurum.Methods: The gene sequences of HO family were selected from iso-seq full-length transcriptome data of B. chinense and B. scorzonerifolium, and were analyzed in physicochemical properties, conserved domains,motifs and phylogenetic relationship. In addition, the expression patterns of HO gene in different parts of roots were compared via transcriptome sequencing and qRT-PCR in the two species.Results: Five Bupleurum HO genes(BcHO1-BcHO5) belonging to the HO1 subfamily were identified from the transcriptome data, whereas the HO_(2) subfamily member was not identified. The expression levels of BcHO1 and BcHO_(2) were significantly higher than those of other three HO members in the transcriptome analysis. In addition, the expression profile of BcHO1 showed consistency with lateral root development in B. chinense and B. scorzonerifolium.Conclusion: Hos might participate in the auxin-induced morphogenesis of lateral roots. The yield of saikosaponin may be improved by manipulating expression of these genes.展开更多
