摘要:

【目的】探究文冠果(Xanthoceras sorbifolium)Brassinazole Resistance 1(BZR1)基因家族成员的特征及其在非生物胁迫响应中的作用,为文冠果XsBZR1基因功能的研究和抗逆新品种的选育提供理论参考。【方法】利用生物信息学方法鉴定并系统分析文冠果XsBZR1基因家族;构建35S::XsBZR1-eYFP融合蛋白,对XsBZR1进行亚细胞定位分析;通过实时荧光定量PCR技术分析XsBZR1基因在非生物胁迫下的表达模式;构建XsBZR1- 9基因的过表达载体并转化到拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)中,观察转基因株系与野生型植株在盐胁迫处理下的生长情况。【结果】①在文冠果基因组中共鉴定出9个BZR1基因,分别命名为XsBZR1-1XsBZR1-9,这些基因不均匀地分布在6条染色体上。②系统进化和共线性分析表明,XsBZR1蛋白与双子叶植物的BZR 1转录因子亲缘关系更为密切。③XsBZR1基因的启动子区域具有大量的光响应、激素响应元件以及胁迫应答响应元件。④亚细胞定位结果和预测结果一致,9个XsBZR1均定位于细胞核。⑤qRT-PCR分析表明,9个XsBZR1基因在不同的非生物胁迫下表现出不同的表达模式。除XsBZR1-7外,其余XsBZR1基因在低温胁迫下3 h时迅速上调表达;盐胁迫下XsBZR1的表达量呈现较大的差异性,XsBZR1-3/4/5/7的表达受到盐胁迫的显著抑制,而XsBZR1-1XsBZR1-9在盐胁迫处理9 h时表达量提高到约20倍;XsBZR1-3/7/8/9在干旱处理9 h时表达量提高到2倍以上,而其余XsBZR1在干旱处理下的表达水平变化不大;9个XsBZR1均受到ABA的诱导表达,其中XsBZR1-8在ABA处理9 h时表达量提高到35倍。⑥在拟南芥中过表达XsBZR1-9发现,转基因植株在盐胁迫处理后的主根长度显著高于野生型植株。【结论】XsBZR1家族成员参与了文冠果非生物胁迫响应,过表达XsBZR1-9显著提高植物对盐胁迫的耐受性,这为进一步分析XsBZR1基因在文冠果抗逆机制中的作用奠定了基础。

Abstract:

【Objective】This study aimed to systematically characterize the BZR1 transcription factor family in yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium) and elucidate its functional roles in abiotic stress response, thereby providing insights for breeding stress-resistant cultivars.【Method】Genome-wide identification of XsBZR1 genes was performed using bioinformatics tools. Subcellular localization of XsBZR1 proteins was validated via 35S::XsBZR1-eYFP fusion constructs. Expression profiles under abiotic stresses (low temperature, salt, drought) and abscisic acid (ABA) treatment were analyzed by qRT-PCR. Functional validation was conducted by overexpressing XsBZR1- 9 in Arabidopsis thaliana and assessing salt tolerance phenotypes.【Result】Nine XsBZR1 genes (XsBZR1-1 to XsBZR1-9) were identified and distributed unevenly across six chromosomes. Phylogenetic and synteny analyses revealed close evolutionary relationships with dicotyledonous BZR1 orthologs. Promoter regions harbored abundant cis-regulatory elements associated with light responsiveness (48.9%), hormone signaling (35.0%) and stress adaptation (24.6%). The nuclear localization of all XsBZR1 proteins was experimentally confirmed. Differential expression patterns were observed under stress conditions: low temperature (4 ℃) rapidly induced eight XsBZR1 genes (1.3- to 6.0-fold upregulation at 3 h; P<0.05), except XsBZR1-7. Salt stress (150 mmol/L NaCl) suppressed XsBZR1-3/4/5/7 but strongly upregulated XsBZR1-1 (26.1-fold) and XsBZR1-9 (19.6-fold) at 9 h (P<0.001). Drought stress (mass fraction 25% PEG6000) elevated XsBZR1- 3/7/8/9 expression (>1.9-fold at 9 h), while others remained stable. ABA treatment (100 μmol/L) universally induced XsBZR1 genes, with XsBZR1-8 showing a 35.4-fold increase (P<0.001).Transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing XsBZR1-9 exhibited enhanced salt tolerance, with taproot lengths twice that of the wild-type under 100 mmol/L NaCl (P<0.01).【Conclusion】The XsBZR1 gene family plays pivotal roles in yellowhorn’s abiotic stress response, with XsBZR1-9 demonstrating significant potential for improving salt tolerance. These findings advance the molecular understanding of stress adaptation mechanisms in woody plants and provide targets for precision breeding.
