Identification and expression analysis of TCP family members in tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum L.)
TCP family as plant specific transcription factor,plays an important role in different aspects of plant development.In order to screen TCP family members in tobacco,the homologous sequences of tobacco and Arabidopsis TCP family were identified by genome-wide homologous alignment.The physicochemical properties,phylogenetic relationships and cis-acting elements were analyzed by bioinformatics.The homologous genes of AtTCP3/AtTCP4 were screened,and RT-qPCR was used to detect the changes of gene expression upon 20%PEG6000 treatment.The results show that tobacco contains 63 TCP family members.Their amino acid sequence length ranged from 89 aa to 596 aa,and their protein hydropathicity grand average of hydropathicity(GRAVY)ranged from-1.147 to 0.125.The isoelectric point(pI)ranges from 4.42 to 9.94,the number of introns is 0 to 3,and the subcellular location is all located in the nucleus.The results of conserved domain and phylogenetic relationship analysis showed that the tobacco TCP family can be divided into PCF,CIN and CYC/TB1 subfamilies,and each subfamily has a stable sequence.The results of cis-acting elements in gene promoter region showed that TCP family genes contain low docile acting elements(LTR)and a variety of stress and metabolic regulation related elements(MYB,MYC).Analysis of gene expression patterns showed that AtTCP3/AtTCP4 homologous genes(NtTCP6,NtTCP28,NtTCP30,NtTCP33,NtTCP42,NtTCP57,NtTCP63)accounted for 20%PEG6000 treatment significantly up-regulated/down-regulated expression,and NtTCP30 and NtTCP57 genes were selected as candidate genes in response to drought.The results of this study analyzed the TCP family in the tobacco genome and provided candidate genes for the study of drought-resistance gene function and variety breeding in tobacco.
