Abstract:

The objective is to explore the basic physical and chemical properties,molecular evolution characteristics of tomato 4CL gene family and its expression pattern under different concentrations of nitrogen. The whole genome of tomato 4CL gene family members were identified,analyzed by bioinformatics methods,and verified by qPCR under different concentrations of nitrogen treatment. As results,a total of 6 4CL gene family members were identified in tomato(Solanum lycopersicum),all members were stable proteins,5 members belonged to acidic protein and the number of amino acids encoded by 4CL genes in tomato ranged from 538 aa to 957 aa. The secondary structure was mainly random coils,and the tertiary structure except for Sl4CL04 used 5bsw.1.A as the model,the other members all used 5bsr.1.A as the model. The number of introns in the tomato 4CL gene family was 5-11. The 12 Motifs were very conserved in order and position in Sl4CL,and had high homology. Cis-acting elements analysis indicated that MYB binding sites were the most widely distributed in the promoter region. The expression levels of the 6 genes were significantly different under different concentrations of nitrogen. The overexpression vector was constructed for Sl4CL03,and the subcellular localization results showed that it was located in peroxisome,chloroplast and cytoplasm. In conclusion,the evolution of the tomato 4CL family is conservative and specific,and can be regulated by related mechanisms during nitrogen treatment.
