Encoding Genes

Sweetpotato, <i>Ipomoea batatas</i> (L.) Lam., is an important and widely grown crop, yet its production is affected severely by biotic and abiotic stresses. The nucleotide binding site (NBS)-encoding genes have been shown to improve stress tolerance in several plant species. However, the characterization of NBS-encoding genes in sweetpotato is not well-documented to date. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of NBS-encoding genes has been conducted on this species by using bioinformatics and molecular biology methods. A total of 315 NBS-encoding genes were identified, and 260 of them contained all essential conserved domains while 55 genes were truncated. Based on domain architectures, the 260 NBS-encoding genes were grouped into 6 distinct categories. Phylogenetic analysis grouped these genes into 3 classes: TIR, CC (I), and CC (II). Chromosome location analysis revealed that the distribution of NBS-encoding genes in chromosomes was uneven, with a number ranging from 1 to 34. Multiple stress-related regulatory elements were detected in the promoters, and the NBS-encoding genes’ expression profiles under biotic and abiotic stresses were obtained. According to the bioinformatics analysis, 9 genes were selected for RT-qPCR analysis. The results revealed that <i>IbNBS75</i>, <i>IbNBS219</i>, and <i>IbNBS256</i> respond to stem nematode infection; <i>Ib­NBS240</i>, <i>IbNBS90</i>, and <i>IbNBS80</i> respond to cold stress, while <i>IbNBS208</i>, <i>IbNBS71</i>, and <i>IbNBS159</i> respond to 30% PEG treatment. We hope these results will provide new insights into the evolution of NBS-encoding genes in the sweetpotato genome and contribute to the molecular breeding of sweetpotato in the future.

Entry Points

In this study, resistance gene analogs (RGAs) which were isolated from monocot crop species (wheat, barley, maize and rice) and contained conserved sequence motifs found within the nucleotide binding site - leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR) class of resistance genes, were used to assess their distribution in the wheat genome. The RGAs showed 30-70% amino acid identity to a previously isolated monocot NBS-LRR sequence from the Cre3 locus for cereal cyst nematode (CCN) resistance in wheat. We used the RGAs as probes to identify and map loci in wheat using recombinant inbred lines of an international Triticeae mapping family. RGA loci mapped across all seven homoeologous chromosome groups of wheat. This study demonstrated that the RGA mapping approach provides potential entry points toward identifying resistance gene candidates in wheat.Key words: wheat, disease resistance genes, nucleotide binding site, leucine rich repeat, resistance gene analogs.
