Classification and Gene Expression Analysis of HSFs from Aquilegia coerulea and Sub-cellular Localization of AyHSF1
Fourteen HSFs (Heat shock transcription factors) were identified from Aquilegia coerulea genome sequence.Alignment and phylogenetic analyses displayed there were 8 HSFAs,5 HSFBs and 1 HSFC in A.coerulea.Real-time PCR revealed that transcripts of these HSFs were detected and most of them were induced significantly by heat shock in A.yabeana.Furthermore,HSF1 was cloned from A.yabeana cDNA.The protein fused with GFP at its N-terminus was investigated in onion epidermal cell and observed with a translocation phenomenon.
