The largest group of deubiquitinases—ubiquitin-specific proteases (UBPs)—perform extensive and significant roles in plants, including the regulation of development and stress responses. A comprehensive analysis of UBP genes has been performed in Arabidopsis thaliana, but no systematic study has been conducted in moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis). In this study, the genome-wide identification, classification, gene, protein, promoter region characterization, divergence time, and expression pattern analyses of the UBPs in moso bamboo were conducted. In total, 48 putative UBP genes were identified in moso bamboo, which were divided into 14 distinct subfamilies in accordance with a comparative phylogenetic analysis using 132 full-length protein sequences, including 48, 27, 25, and 32 sequences from moso bamboo, A. thaliana, rice (Oryza sativa), and purple false brome (Brachypodium distachyon), respectively. Analyses of the evolutionary patterns and divergence levels revealed that the PeUBP genes experienced a duplication event approximately 15 million years ago and that the divergence between PeUBP and OsUBP occurred approximately 27 million years ago. Additionally, several PeUBP members were significantly upregulated under abscisic acid, methyl jasmonate, and salicylic acid treatments, indicating their potential roles in abiotic stress responses in plants.

The proteins containing the TIFY domain belong to a plant-specific family of putative transcription factors and could be divided into four subfamilies: ZML, TIFY, PPD and JAZ. They not only function as key regulators of jasmonate hormonal response, but are also involved in responding to abiotic stress. In this study, we identified 24 TIFY genes (PeTIFYs) in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) of Poaceae by analyzing the whole genome sequence. OnePeTIFYbelongs to TIFY subfamily, 18 and five belong to JAZ and ZML subfamilies, respectively. Two equivocal gene models were re-predicted and a putative retrotransposition event was found in a ZML protein. The distribution and conservation of domain or motif, and gene structure were also analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis with TIFY proteins ofArabidopsisandOryza sativaindicated that JAZ subfamily could be further divided to four groups. Evolutionary analysis revealed intragenomic duplication and orthologous relationship betweenP. edulis,O. sativa, andB. distachyon. Calculation of the non-synonymous (Ka) and synonymous (Ks) substitution rates and their ratios indicated that the duplication ofPeTIFYmay have occurred around 16.7 million years ago (MYA), the divergence time of TIFY family among theP. edulis-O. sativa,P. edulis-B. distachyon,andO. sativa-B. distachyonwas approximately 39 MYA, 39 MYA, and 45 MYA, respectively. They appear to have undergone extensive purifying selection during evolution. Transcriptome sequencing revealed that more than 50% ofPeTIFYgenes could be up-regulated by cold and dehydration stresses, and somePeTIFYsalso share homology to know TIFYs involved in abiotic stress tolerance. Our results made insights into TIFY family of Moso bamboo, an economically important non-timber forest resource, and provided candidates for further identification of genes involved in regulating responses to abiotic stress.

The Dof transcription factor (TF) family belongs to a class of plant-specific TFs and is involved in plant growth, development, and response to abiotic stresses. However, there are only very limited reports on the characterization of Dof TFs in moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis). In the present research, PheDof TFs showed specific expression profiles based on RNA-seq data analyses. The co-expression network indicated that PheDof12, PheDof14, and PheDof16 might play vital roles during flower development. Cis-regulatory element analysis of these PheDof genes suggested diverse functions. Expression patterns of 12 selected genes from seven different classes under three abiotic stresses (cold, salt, and drought) are further investigated by quantitative real-time PCR. This work will provide useful information for functional analysis and regulation mechanisms of Dof TFs in moso bamboo.

Brassica napus and its diploid progenitors (B. rapa and B. oleracea) are suitable for studying the problems associated with polyploidization. As an important anti-stress protein, RCI2 proteins widely exist in various tissues of plants, and are crucial to plant growth, development, and stress response. In this study, the RCI2 gene family was comprehensively identified and analyzed, and 9, 9, and 24 RCI2 genes were identified in B. rapa, B. oleracea, and B. napus, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all of the identified RCI2 genes were divided into two groups, and further divided into three subgroups. Ka/Ks analysis showed that most of the identified RCI2 genes underwent a purifying selection after the duplication events. Moreover, gene structure analysis showed that the structure of RCI2 genes is largely conserved during polyploidization. The promoters of the RCI2 genes in B. napus contained more cis-acting elements, which were mainly involved in plant development and growth, plant hormone response, and stress responses. Thus, B. napus might have potential advantages in some biological aspects. In addition, the changes of RCI2 genes during polyploidization were also discussed from the aspects of gene number, gene structure, gene relative location, and gene expression, which can provide reference for future polyploidization analysis.

Abstract Background: WRKY transcription factors are a superfamily of regulators involved in diverse biological processes and stress responses in plants. However, knowledge is limited for WRKY family in camelina (Camelina sativa), an important Brassicaceae oil crop with strong tolerance against various stresses. Here, genome-wide characterization of WRKY proteins is performed to examine their gene-structures, phylogenetics, expressions, conserved motif organizations, and functional annotation to identify candidate WRKYs mediating regulation of stress resistance in camelina.Results: Total of 242 CsWRKY proteins encoded by 224 gene loci distributed uneven on chromosomes were identified, and classified into three groups via phylogenetic analysis according to their WRKY domains and zinc finger motifs. 15 CsWRKY gene loci generated 33 spliced variants. Orthologous WRKY gene pairs were identified, with 173 pairs in C. sativa and Arabidopsis genomes as well as 282 pairs for C. sativa and B. napus, respectively. 137 segmental duplication events were observed but no tandem duplication in camelina genome. Ten major conserved motifs were examined, with WRKYGQK as the most conserved and several variants existed in many CsWRKYs. Expression analysis revealed that half more CsWRKY genes were expressed constitutively, and a set of them had a tissue-specific expression. Notably, 11 CsWRKY genes exhibited significantly expression changes in plant seedlings under cold, salt, and drought stress, respectively, having preferentially inducible expression pattern in response to the stress.Conclusions: The present described a detail analysis of CsWRKY gen family and their expression profiled in twelve tissues and under several stress conditions. Segmental duplication is the major force for large expansion of this gene family, and a strong purifying pressure happened for CsWRKY proteins evolutionally. CsWRKY proteins play important roles for plant development, with differential functions in different tissues. Exceptionally, eleven CsWRKYs, particularly five alternative spliced isoforms were found to be the key players possibly in mediating plant response to various stresses. Overall, our results provide a foundation for understanding roles of CsWRKYs and the precise mechanism through which CsWRKYs regulate high stress resistance to stress as well as development of stress tolerance cultivars for Cruciferae crops.
