The AP2/ERF transcription factor family members play crucial roles in controlling plant growth and development, as well as responses to various abiotic stresses. Genome-wide identification and characterization of AP2/ERF genes has not yet been carried out in the oil palm genome. In the present work, we reported the occurrence of 172 EgAP2/ERFs (AP2, ERF, RAV & Soloist members) through genome-wide identification. Phylogenetic analysis was used to divide them into four groups, including: 34 AP2, 131 ERF, 5 RAV, and 2 Soloist gene family members. All 172 AP2/ERF members were unevenly distributed across 16 chromosomes of oil palm. Gene duplication analysis elucidated the tandem duplication of AP2/ERFs on chromosome blocks of the oil palm genome during evolution. Gene structure as well as conserved motif analysis demonstrated the conserved nature of intron/exon organization and motifs among the AP2/ERF genes. Several cis-regulatory elements—related to hormone, stress, and defense responses—were identified in the promoter regions of AP2/ERFs. Tissue-specific expression of 172 AP2/ERFs in five different tissues of oil palm was also revealed by heatmap analysis using the available transcriptome data. Finally, abiotic stress (salinity, cold & drought)-responsive AP2/ERFs in the oil palm genome were validated through qPCR analysis. Our study provided valuable information on oil palm AP2/ERF superfamily members and dissected their role in abiotic stress conditions.

Plant glutathione peroxidase (GPX) is an important antioxidant enzyme to maintain H2O2 homeostasis and regulate plant response to abiotic stress. In this paper, we present the first report of a genome-wide identification of GPX genes in watermelon. A total of six genes (ClGPX1–ClGPX6) were identified, which were unevenly located on four chromosomes of the watermelon genome. Based on phylogenetic analysis, the GPX genes of Arabidopsis, rice, cucumber, and sorghum were classified into four groups. Through analyzing the promoter regions of ClGPX genes, many development-, stress-, and hormone-responsive cis-acting regulatory elements were also identified. Expression pattern analysis by qRT-PCR indicated that all ClGPX genes were actively expressed in flowers and fruits, and exhibited relatively lower expression in other tissues, particularly roots and stems. In addition, the expression of ClGPX genes was significantly induced by salt, drought, and cold stresses, as well as abscisic acid (ABA) treatment at different time points, suggesting that they may be involved in response to abiotic stress and ABA. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that ClGPX genes might function in watermelon development, especially in flower and fruit tissue, as well as in response to abiotic stress and hormones.

Abstract BackgroundCotton is an important commercial crop for its valuable source of natural fiber. Its production has undergone a sharp failure because of abiotic stress influences, of significance is drought. Moreover, plants have evolved self-defense mechanisms against the effects of several ways of abiotic factors like drought, salt, cold among others. The evolution of stress responsive transcription factors such as the trihelix, a nodule-inception-like protein (NLP), the late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins among others have shown positive response in improving resistance to several forms of abiotic stress features.ResultsGenome wide identification and characterization of the effects of Light-Harvesting Chloro a/b binding (LHC) genes was carried out in cotton under drought stress conditions. A hundred and nine proteins encoded by the LHC genes were found in the cotton genome, with 55, 27, and 27 genes found to be distributed in Gossypium hirsutum, G. arboreum, and G. raimondii, respectively. The proteins encoded by the genes were unevenly distributed in various chromosomes. The Ka/Ks values were less than one, and an indication of negative selection of the gene family. differential expression arrangement of genes was showed with the majority of the genes being highly upregulated in the root tissues in relative to leave and stem tissues. Moreover, more genes were induced in M85 a relative drought tolerant germplasm.Conclusion:The results provide proof of the possible role of the LHC genes in improving drought stress tolerance, and can be explored by cotton breeders in releasing a more drought tolerant cotton germplasms.

Fructose-1,6-biphosphate aldolase (FBA) is a multifunctional enzyme in plants, which participates in the process of Calvin-Benson cycle, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Despite the importance of FBA genes in regulating plant growth, development and abiotic stress responses, little is known about their roles in cotton. In the present study, we performed a genome-wide identification and characterization of FBAs in Gossypium hirsutum. Totally seventeen GhFBA genes were identified. According to the analysis of functional domain, phylogenetic relationship, and gene structure, GhFBA genes were classified into two subgroups. Furthermore, nine GhFBAs were predicted to be in chloroplast and eight were located in cytoplasm. Moreover, the promoter prediction showed a variety of abiotic stresses and phytohormone related cis-acting elements exist in the 2k up-stream region of GhFBA. And the evolutionary characteristics of cotton FBA genes were clearly presented by synteny analysis. Moreover, the results of transcriptome and qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of GhFBAs were related to the tissue distribution, and further analysis suggested that GhFBAs could respond to various abiotic stress and phytohormonal treatments. Overall, our systematic analysis of GhFBA genes would not only provide a basis for the understanding of the evolution of GhFBAs, but also found a foundation for the further function analysis of GhFBAs to improve cotton yield and environmental adaptability.
