Genome-Wide Analysis of MIKCC-Type MADS Box Genes in Grapevine

MADS-box transcription factors are known to be involved in many important processes during plant growth and development. To date, few cucumber MADS-box genes and little tissue expression profiling have been reported. Recent completion of the cucumber whole-genome sequencing has allowed genome-wide analysis of the MADS-box gene family in cucumber as well as its comparison with other species. Here, we performed comprehensive analyses of the 43 cucumber MADS-box genes and compared them with those in Arabidopsis, poplar, and grapevine. The phylogenetic analysis showed that most cucumber members were comparable with those in other species, with the exception of AG members. At the same time, the three subfamilies FLC, AGL12, and Bs were absent in the cucumber genome. The conserved motif analysis revealed that most motifs outside the MADS domain were distributed only in specific groups. The analysis of chromosomal localization suggested that tandem duplication might contribute to the MADS-box gene expansion. Expression analysis revealed that 42 of 43 cucumber MADS-box members were expressed in multiple plant tissues, thereby implying their various roles in plants.

BACKGROUND: Black raspberry is a vital fruit crop with a high antioxidant function. MADS-box genes play an important role in the regulation of fruit development in angiosperms. OBJECTIVE: To understand the regulatory role of the MADS-box family, a total of 80 MADS-box genes were identified and analyzed. METHODS: The MADS-box genes in the black raspberry genome were analyzed using bioinformatics methods. Through an analysis of the promoter elements, the possible functions of different members of the family were predicted. The spatiotemporal expression patterns of members of the MADS-box family during black raspberry fruit development and ripening were systematically analyzed. RESULTS: The genes were classified into type I (Mα: 33; Mβ: 6; Mγ: 10) and type II (MIKC *: 2; MIKCC: 29) genes. We also obtained a complete overview of the RoMADS-box gene family through phylogenetic, gene structure, conserved motif, and cis element analyses. The relative expression analysis showed different expression patterns, and most RoMADS-box genes were more highly expressed in fruit than in other tissues of black raspberry. CONCLUSIONS: This finding indicates that the MADS-box gene family is involved in the regulation of fruit ripening processes in black raspberry.

MADS-box gene family members play multifarious roles in regulating the growth and development of crop plants and hold enormous promise for bolstering grain yield potential under changing global environments. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a key stable food crop around the globe. Until now, the available information concerning MADS-box genes in the wheat genome has been insufficient. Here, a comprehensive genome-wide analysis identified 300 high confidence MADS-box genes from the publicly available reference genome of wheat. Comparative phylogenetic analyses with Arabidopsis and rice MADS-box genes classified the wheat genes into 16 distinct subfamilies. Gene duplications were mainly identified in subfamilies containing unbalanced homeologs, pointing towards a potential mechanism for gene family expansion. Moreover, a more rapid evolution was inferred for M-type genes, as compared with MIKC-type genes, indicating their significance in understanding the evolutionary history of the wheat genome. We speculate that subfamily-specific distal telomeric duplications in unbalanced homeologs facilitate the rapid adaptation of wheat to changing environments. Furthermore, our in-silico expression data strongly proposed MADS-box genes as active guardians of plants against pathogen insurgency and harsh environmental conditions. In conclusion, we provide an entire complement of MADS-box genes identified in the wheat genome that could accelerate functional genomics efforts and possibly facilitate bridging gaps between genotype-to-phenotype relationships through fine-tuning of agronomically important traits.

Abstract MADS-box genes are classes of transcription factors involved in various physiological and developmental processes in plants. Here, genome wide identification of MADS-box genes was done in Cajanus cajan, identifying 102 members, classified into two different groups based on their gene structure. The gene based phylogeny of C. cajan MADS-box genes, and some grain legumes was developed to detect their gene homologs in C. cajan. The status of all these genes was analyzed in three wild relatives i.e. C. scarabaeoides, C. platycarpus and C. cajanifolius. A total of 41 MADS-box genes were found to be missing in wild type cultivars hinting towards their role in domestication and evolution. Single copy of Flowering locus C (FLC) and Short vegetative phase (SVP), while three copies of Suppressor of activation of Constans 1 (SOC1) was found to be present. One SOC1 gene i.e. CcMADS1.5 was found to be missing in all wild relatives, also forming separate clade in phylogeny, revealing its origin through duplication followed by divergence, and role in domestication. Expression profiling of major MADS-box genes involved in flowering was done in different tissues viz vegetative meristem vegetative leaf, reproductive meristem and reproductive bud. Gene based time tree of FLC and SOC1 gene dictates their divergence from Arabidopsis before 71 and 23 million year ago (mya) respectively. This study provides valuable insights into the functions, characteristics and evolution of MADS-box proteins in grain legumes with emphasis on C. cajan, which may help in further characterizing these genes.
