Abstract Background Autophagy, meaning ‘self-eating’, is required for degradation and recycling of cytoplasmic constituents under stressful or non-stressful conditions, thereby contributing to maintaining cellular homeostasis, delaying aged and longevity in eukaryotes. So far, the functions of autophagy have been intensively studied in yeast, mammals and model plants, but few studies have focused on economic crops, especially for tea plants, the roles of autophagy in coping with different environment stimuluses have not yet been detailed. Therefore, exploring the functions of autophagy related genes in tea plant would contribute to further understanding the mechanism of autophagy in response to stresses in woody plants. Results Here, we totally identified 35 CsARGs in tea plant. Each CsARG is highly conserved with its homologues stemmed from other plant species, except for CsATG14. Tissue-specific expression analysis revealed that the abundances of CsARGs were varied with different tissues, but CsATG8c/i showed a certain degree of tissue specificity, respectively. Under hormones and abiotic stress conditions, most of CsARGs were up-regulated at different treatment time points. In addition, the transcriptions of 10 CsARGs were higher in cold-resistance cultivar ‘Longjing43’ than the cold-susceptible cultivar ‘Damianbai’ during CA periods, however, CsATG101 showed a contrary tendency. Conclusions We comprehensively analyzed the bioinformatics and physiological roles of CsARGs in tea plant, and these results provide the basis for deepen exploring the molecular mechanism of autophagy involved in tea plant growth and development and stress responses. Meanwhile, some CsARGs would be served as putative molecular markers for cold-resistance breeding of tea plant in future.

Tubby-Like Proteins (TLPs) are important transcription factors with many functions and are found in both animals and plants. In plants, TLPs are thought to be involved in the abiotic stress response. To reveal the potential function of TLPs in the medicinal model plant Salvia miltiorrhiza, we identified 12 S. miltiorrhiza TLPs (SmTLPs) and conducted a comprehensive analysis. We examined SmTLP gene structure, protein structure, phylogenetics, and expression analysis. Our results show that all SmTLPs, except SmTLP11, have a complete typical Tub domain. Promoter analysis revealed that most SmTLPs are involved in hormone and abiotic stress responses. Expression analysis revealed that the 12 SmTLPs could be divided into three categories: those specifically expressed in roots, those specifically expressed in stems, and those specifically expressed in leaves. Additional studies have shown that SmTLP10 may play an important role in the plant cold resistance, while SmTLP12 may be involved in the S. miltiorrhiza ABA metabolic pathway. Our study represents the first comprehensive investigation of TLPs in S. miltiorrhiza. These data may provide useful clues for future studies and may support the hypotheses regarding the role of TLPs in plant abiotic stress process. All in all, we may provide a reference for improving S. miltiorrhiza quality using genetic engineering technology.

Squamosa Promoter Binding Protein

SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein (SBP) is a kind of plant-specific transcription factor, which plays a crucial role in stress responses and plant growth and development by activating and inhibiting the transcription of multiple target genes. In this study, a total of 30 SBP genes were identified from Populus trichocarpa genome and randomly distributed on 16 chromosomes in poplar. According to phylogenetic analysis, the PtSBPs can be divided into six categories, and 14 out of the genes belong to VI. Furthermore, the SBP genes in VI were proved to have a targeting relationship with miR156. The homeopathic element analysis showed that the promoters of poplar SBP genes mainly contain the elements involved in growth and development, abiotic stress and hormone response. In addition, there existed 10 gene segment duplication events in the SBP gene duplication analysis. Furthermore, there were four poplar and Arabidopsis orthologous gene pairs among the poplar SBP members. What is more, poplar SBP gene family has diverse gene expression pattern under salt stress. As many as nine SBP members were responding to high salt stress and six members possibly participated in growth development and abiotic stress. Yeast two-hybrid experiments indicated that PtSBPs can form heterodimers to interact in the transcriptional regulatory networks. The genome-wide analysis of poplar SBP family will contribute to function characterization of SBP genes in woody plants.

Abstract Background: Catharanthus roseus receptor-like kinase 1-like (CrRLK1Ls) proteins play important roles in cell growth, plant morphogenesis, reproduction, hormone signaling, plant immunity and stress responses in Arabidopsis. However, not much information is available about their functions during cotton fiber development.Results: We identified a total of 125, 73 and 71 full-length putative CrRLK1L genes in G. hirsutum, G. arboreum and G. raimondii, which are much greater than that of the other plants. The phylogenetic and gene structure analysis divided the cotton CrRLK1L genes into six major groups, among which only group I and II contained AtCrRLK1Ls of Arabidopsis, suggesting that other groups (group III-VI) were expanded by gene duplication during cotton evolution. Genome collinearity analysis revealed that half of the At02 genes in G. hirsutum derived from A02 of G. arboreum, while the other half (GhCrRLK1L6 and GhCrRLK1L7) originated from Dt03 and Dt02 of G. raimondii, indicating segmental duplication between noncorresponding chromosomes during polyploidization of G. hirsutum. In addition, expression and cis-element analysis revealed that only 22 GhCrRLK1Ls showed specific expression pattern during fiber development which are mainly due to the presence of binding sites for NAC, MYB and WRKY transcription factors.Conclusions: This study provides a strong foundation to further explore the molecular mechanism of CrRLK1L genes during fiber development in upland cotton.
