Abstract:

Bolting and flowering is an important character of Cruciferous crops. The vernalization would be completed in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) by low temperature environment in autumn and winter, which will be resulting in premature bolting. In this study, 272 flowering related genes were identified by multiple sequence alignment and evolutionary tree analyses. The RNA-Seq sequencing data of radish varieties NHJS1, NHJS2 and 2# were analyzed, and 25 key vernalization responded genes were identified combined with the META analysis. The potential links between these key genes were estimated by the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. Furthermore, the key genes enriched in vernalization, cold responses, gibberellin biosynthesis and signal transduction pathway were verified by qRT-PCR, suggesting that RsGA20ox1, RsAGL18, RsFLC2 and other genes play important roles in vernalization. These results will lay a foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanism vernalization in radish.

Key words: Raphanus sativus, bolting and flowering, vernalization response
