doi:10.13304/j.nykjdb.2022.0566

Abstract

Abstract:

Calcineurin B-like protein （CBL） plays an important role in plant stress response. Previous studies showed that SiCBL3 was strongly induced by drought and salt， so this study further analyzed its function. Retrieval revealed that SiCBL3 was located on chromosome 3， had 2 transcripts， encoded 226 amino acids， and contained 3 typical EF-hand domains. Subcellular localization speculated that SiCBL3 protein was mainly located on the vacuolar membrane. Real-time PCR analysis showed that SiCBL3 responsed to PEG， salt， high temperature， low temperature and ABA in the foxtail millet seedling stage. The analysis of drought stress at different growth stages showed that SiCBL3 was highly expressed at heading and filling stage under normal conditions， and was induced by drought at jointing， heading and filling stage. Tissue expression analysis revealed that SiCBL3 was mainly expressed in the top 2^nd leaves， stems， leaf sheaths， panicles and other aboveground organs， while the expression level in roots was low. The analysis of different growth stages also showed that the expression of SiCBL3 was higher in stems and leaves， but lower in roots. Subsequent tissue analysis at the filling stage also showed that SiCBL3 was mainly expressed in aboveground tissues such as top 2^nd leaf， stem， spike-stalk， leaf sheath and grain， and was strongly induced under drought stress. These results revealed that SiCBL3 was highly expressed in the aboveground tissues， and participated in the response to drought and other stresses in the middle and late stages， especially played an important role in the response to drought stress at the filling stage. This study laid a foundation for further function analysis of CBL family genes in foxtail millet.

摘要：

钙调磷酸酶Ｂ蛋白（calcineurin B-like proteins， CBL）在植物逆境应答中起重要作用。前期研究表明谷子SiCBL3受干旱和盐的强烈诱导，因此对其进行系统分析。检索发现SiCBL3位于3号染色体，有2个转录本，均编码226个氨基酸，含3个典型的EF-hand功能域。亚细胞定位显示，SiCBL3蛋白主要位于液泡膜上。荧光实时定量PCR分析表明，SiCBL3广泛参与谷子苗期对PEG、盐、高温、低温和ABA等多种非生物逆境胁迫响应；SiCBL3在正常抽穗和灌浆期表达量较高，且在谷子拔节、抽穗和灌浆期干旱胁迫下被大量诱导。组织表达分析揭示，SiCBL3主要在地上部的倒2叶、茎杆、叶鞘、穗等器官中表达，而在地下部根中表达量较低；不同生育阶段SiCBL3在茎叶中表达量较高，在根中较低；灌浆期SiCBL3主要在倒2叶、茎、穗轴、叶鞘、籽粒等地上部组织中表达，而且在干旱胁迫下被大量诱导。这些结果表明，SiCBL3主要在地上部组织中高效表达，在生长中后期积极地参与植物对干旱等逆境胁迫响应，特别是在灌浆期干旱胁迫应答中起重要作用。研究结果为解析谷子CBL家族基因在逆境应答中的功能奠定基础。
