摘要: 为深入研究WRKY转录因子在干旱和丛枝菌根(AM)处理下的生物学功能,本研究对接种AM真菌和干旱胁迫的宽叶苔草(Carex siderosticta)进行转录组学测序,鉴定宽叶苔草WRKY(CsWRKY)基因家族成员,分析其理化性质、蛋白质二级结构、保守基序与表达模式等,结合qRT-PCR验证,挖掘与干旱胁迫相关的候选WRKY基因。结果表明,共获得41个CsWRKY基因家族成员,划分为3类,组1有7个,组2有24个,组3有10个。CsWRKY基因家族成员的氨基酸数为99~1 052,理论等电点为4.83~9.84,亲水性系数均为负值,表明均为亲水蛋白。GO注释富集于转录调控、代谢过程调控、生物合成过程调控3大类功能。KEGG通路主要富集于植物MAPK信号通路、植物-病原互作、转录因子3个通路。接种AM后,26个CsWRKY基因表达上调,12个下调。结合转录组数据与同源比对,筛选出13个可能参与干旱响应的CsWRKY候选基因。qRT-PCR分析表明,10个候选基因受干旱胁迫诱导,可能发挥正调控作用;另3个候选基因受干旱胁迫抑制,可能发挥负调控作用。本研究为解析宽叶苔草抗旱机制提供了候选基因资源与理论依据。

Abstract:

To explore the biological functions of WRKY transcription factor under drought stress and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal influence, transcriptome sequencing was performed on Carex siderosticta inoculated with AM fungi and simultaneously subjected to drought stress. Members of the C. siderosticta WRKY (CsWRKY) gene family were identified, and their physicochemical properties, protein secondary structures, conserved motifs and expression patterns were analysed; candidate genes related to drought stress were screened and verified by qRT-PCR. In total, 41 CsWRKY genes were obtained and classified into three groups: group 1 had 7 members, group 2 had 24 members, and group 3 had 10 members. The encoded proteins contained 99-1 052 amino acids, with theoretical isoelectric points of 4.83-9.84; all members were hydrophilic proteins with negative hydrophilicity values. Gene Ontology (GO) annotation showed enrichment in three major biological functions: transcriptional regulation, regulation of metabolic processes, and regulation of biosynthetic processes. KEGG pathway analysis revealed significant enrichment in the plant MAPK signaling pathway, plant-pathogen interaction, and transcription factors related pathways. After AM fungal inoculation, 26 CsWRKY genes were up-regulated and 12 were down-regulated. By integrating transcriptomic data and homologous alignment, 13 CsWRKY genes were selected as potential participants in drought response. qRT-PCR demonstrated that 10 of these candidates were induced by drought, suggesting positive regulatory roles, whereas three were repressed, implying negative regulatory roles. This study provides valuable candidate genes and a theoretical basis for further investigation of drought-tolerance mechanisms in C. siderosticta.
