Abstract:

【Objective】CPP gene family exists widely in eukaryotes and plays an important role in plant growth and development. Identifying the members of the CPP gene family from the sorghum genome and analyzing their expression characteristics provides a theoretical basis for functional study and genetic improvement of the CPP gene family in sorghum.【Method】Bioinformatics techniques were used to analyze the sequences of the sorghum CPP gene family, and transcriptome and RT-qPCR techniques were used to analyze the expressions of SbCPP in different tissues of sorghum and under salt alkali stress.【Result】A total of eight SbCPP genes were identified in sorghum, and they were distributed unevenly on seven chromosomes and had similar gene structure and protein physicochemical properties among the members of the families. The SbCPP gene was closely related to rice(Oryza sativa), and there were 6 pairs of homologous genes. The promoter analysis showed that the SbCPP gene promoter contained elements such as light response, hormone response and stress response. The transcriptome data analysis results indicated that SbCPP gene might be involved in the regulation process of sorghum under saline-alkali stress. The results of real-time quantitative PCR showed that SbCPP gene was widely expressed in sorghum under saline-alkali stress, but the expression patterns of family members varied in different periods. The expressions of SbCPP01 and SbPP04 were high at 12 h, and that of SbPP02 was high at 6 h, the expression of SbPP03 was high at 1 h, and the above genes were significantly expressed.【Conclusion】Eight CPP genes were obtained from sorghum, among which SbCPP01, SbCPP02 and SbCPP04 were highly expressed under saline-alkali stress, indicating that these genes play an important role in resisting saline-alkali stress in sorghum.
