Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is well known for its rapid shoot growth. Auxin exerts pleiotropic effects on plant growth. The small auxin-up RNA (SAUR) genes are early auxin-responsive genes involved in plant growth. In total, 38 SAUR genes were identified in P. edulis (PheSAUR). A comprehensive overview of the PheSAUR gene family is presented, including the gene structures, phylogeny, and subcellular location predictions. A transcriptome analysis indicated that 37 (except PheSAUR18) of the PheSAUR genes were expressed during shoot growth process and that the PheSAUR genes were differentially expressed. Furthermore, quantitative real-time PCR analysis indicated that all of the PheSAUR genes could be induced in different tissues of seedlings and that 37 (except PheSAUR41) of the PheSAUR genes were up-regulated after indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) treatment. These results reveal a comprehensive overview of the PheSAUR gene family and may pave the way for deciphering their functions during bamboo development.

Calcineurin B-like (CBL) proteins are reported to play significant roles in plant development and ion-transport regulation. Potassium shortages are a serious problem in banana cultivation. However, to date, the members of the banana CBL gene family, and their function in regulating potassium stress, remain unclear. In this study, 11 CBL genes were identified from the banana genome and grouped into four groups (Group I–IV) based on their phylogenetic relationships. The genomic features of these MaCBL genes were analyzed, focusing on their gene structures, standpat motifs, chromosomal distributions, and evolutionary history. Expression pattern analysis revealed that the MaCBLs were function-specific. Further qRT-PCR analysis indicated that the presence of MaCBL2 was indeed a response to potassium deficiency stress. The MaCBL2 gene was cloned, and sequence alignment indicated that it contained four elongation factor hand (EF-hand) domains, the conserved N-terminal myristoylation domain “MGCXXS/K(T)” and the “FPSF” motif. Subcellular location analysis showed that MaCBL2 was located in the plasma membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm. The overexpression of MaCBL2 could restore the growth of the yeast mutant R5421 on a K+-deficient medium. The overexpression of MaCBL2 could promote the root length of transgenic seedlings on K+-deficient medium. These findings indicate that MaCBL2 was, in our study, the key gene of the CBL family in responding to potassium deficiency in bananas. Our discoveries have established a considerable basis for the further study and application of MaCBL genes.

Background. VQ proteins, the plant-specific transcription factors, are involved in the regulation of plant growth, development, and stress responses; however, few articles systematic reported VQ genes in the soybean. Methods. In total, we identified 75 GmVQ genes, which were classified into 7 groups (Ⅰ-Ⅶ). Conserved domain analysis indicated that VQ gene family members all contained the VQ domains. The VQ genes from the same evolutionary branches of soybean shared similar motifs and structures. Promoter analysis revealed cis-elements related to stress responses, phytohormone responses and controlling physical and reproductive growth. Based on the RNA-seq and qRT-PCR analysis, GmVQ genes were expressed in nine tissues suggested their putative function in many aspects of plant growth and development, and response to stresses in Glycine max. Results. The present study provided basic information for further analysis of the biological functions of GmVQ proteins in various development processes.

Abstract Background: UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase (UXS) is an enzyme in plants and participates in cell wall noncellulose. Previous research suggested that cotton GhUXS gene regulated the conversion of non-cellulosic polysaccharides and modulates their composition in plant cell walls, showing its possible cellular function determining the quality of cotton fibers. Here, we performed evolutionary, phylogenetic, and expressional analysis of UXS genes from cottons and other selected plants. Results: By exploring the sequenced cotton genomes, we identified 10, 10, 18, and 20 UXSs genes in Gossypium raimondii , Gossypium arboretum , Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense , and retrieved their homologs from other representative plants, including 5 dicots, 1 monocot, 5 green alga, 1 moss, and 1 lycophyte. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that UXS genes could be divided into four subgroups and members within each subgroup shared similar exon-intron structures, motif and subcellular location. Notably, gene colinearity information indicates 100% constructed trees to have aberrant topology, and helps determine and use corrected phylogeny. In spite of conservative nature of UXS, during the evolution of Gossypium , UXS genes were subjected to significant positive selection on key evolutionary nodes. Expression profiles derived from RNA-seq data showed distinct expression patterns of GhUXS genes in various tissues and different development. Most of GhUXS gene expressed highly at 10, 20 and 25 DPA (day post anthesis) of fibers. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis GhUXS genes expressed highly at 20 DPA or 25 DPA. Conclusions: UXS is relatively conserved in plants and significant positive selection affects cotton UXS evolution. The comparative genome-wide identification and expression profiling would lay an important foundation to understanding the biological functions of UXS gene family in cotton species and other plants.

In eukaryotes, proteins encoded by the 14-3-3 genes are ubiquitously involved in the plant growth and development. The 14-3-3 gene family has been identified in several plants. In the present study, we identified 22 GmGF14 genes in the soybean genomic data. On the basis of the evolutionary analysis, they were clustered into ε and non-ε groups. The GmGF14s of two groups were highly conserved in motifs and gene structures. RNA-seq analysis suggested that GmGF14 genes were the major regulator of soybean morphogenesis. Moreover, the expression level of most GmGF14s changed obviously in multiple stress responses (drought, salt and cold), suggesting that they have the abilities of responding to multiple stresses. Taken together, this study shows that soybean 14-3-3s participate in plant growth and can response to various environmental stresses. These results provide important information for further understanding of the functions of 14-3-3 genes in soybean.

The heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) gene family perform a fundamental role in protecting plants against biotic and abiotic stresses. Aquilaria sinensis is a classic stress-induced medicinal plant, producing a valuable dark resin in a wood matrix, known as agarwood, in response to environmental stresses. The HSP70 gene family has been systematic identified in many plants, but there is no comprehensive analysis at the genomic level in A. sinensis. In this study, 15 putative HSP70 genes were identified in A. sinensis through genome-wide bioinformatics analysis. Based on their phylogenetic relationships, the 15 AsHSP70 were grouped into six sub-families that with the conserved motifs and gene structures, and the genes were mapped onto six separate linkage groups. A qRT-PCR analysis showed that the relative expression levels of all the AsHSP70 genes were up-regulated by heat stress. Subcellular localization of all HSP70s was predicted, and three were verified by transiently expressed in Arabidopsis protoplasts. Based on the expression profiles in different tissues and different layers treated with Agar-Wit, we predict AsHSP70 genes are involved in different stages of agarwood formation. The systematic identification and expression analysis of HSP70s gene family imply some of them may play important roles in the formation of agarwood. Our findings not only provide a foundation for further study their biological function in the later research in A. sinensis, but also provides a reference for the analysis of HSPs in other species.
