Abstract:

Plant CBL genes play important roles in stress response. It is of great significance to identify FtCBL genes of tartary buckwheat(Fagopyrum tataricum L.)and to explore its responses to drought and high calcium stress. Bioinformatics methods were conducted to identify the FtCBL gene of tartary buckwheat. The expression of FtCBL gene under drought,high calcium and combined drought and high calcium treatment was investigated by mimicing stress. A total of 5 FtCBL genes with conserved EF-hand calcium-binding domain were identified,which were located at chromosome Ft3(2),Ft4(1)and Ft5(2). Their cDNA length was 642-684 bp,encoding 213-227 amino acids with highly conserved sequence. The CAT and APX enzyme activities of tartary buckwheat increased sharply under drought,but the difference was insignificant under high calcium,indicating that tartary buckwheat was relatively suitable for growing under high calcium environment. Under drought stress,FtCBL1 was down-regulated at 8 and 24 h,but FtCBL2 at 8 and 24 h and FtCBL3-1 at 8 h were up-regulated. Under high calcium stress,FtCBL1 at 8 and 24 h and FtCBL9 at 24 h were down-regulated,whereas FtCBL2 was up-regulated. Under combined drought and high calcium stress,FtCBL3-1 was up-regulated at 8 and 24 h. A total of 5 FtCBL genes are identified in tartary buckwheat. FtCBL1 and FtCBL2 are induced by drought stress and high calcium stress,respectively,FtCBL3-1 is induced by drought stress and combined drought and high calcium stress,and FtCBL9 is induced by high calcium stress.
