Abstract:

【Objective】 14-3-3 protein, also known as general regulatory factor(GRF), encodes through multi-gene family, and plays a central role in encouraging plant growth and development and stress-related adversity responses. The identification of GRF gene family in Dendrobium officinale may provide theoretical basis for the study of D. officinale GRF gene function and genetic improvement.【Method】 Bioinformatics was used to identify the members of 14-3-3 gene family, and analyze their physicochemical properties, chromosomal localization, phylogenetic tree, gene structure, and cis-acting elements of each DoGRF member. Simultaneously, their expression profiles in different tissues and under the treatment of low-temperature or salt stress were detected using the real-time quantitative PCR.【Result】 Results demonstrated that seventeen DoGRF gene family members were presented in D. officinale, which harbored two subfamilies(ε group and non-ε group). They were unevenly located on 7 chromosomes, and harbored seven tandem repeat gene pairs. The gene structure, conserved motifs, and secondary structure of DoGRF members within the same subfamily were similar. The cis-acting elements at the promoter regions of DoGRF family genes contained abundant hormone and stress response elements. DoGRF genes family were expressed in various tissues(flower buds, sepals, labellum(lip), pollinia, gynostemium(column), stems, leaves, roots, green root tips, and white part of roots), and most of them were highly expressed in floral organs, followed by stems and roots. Besides, they were differentially expressed under treatment of low-temperature or salt-stress, suggesting that they might be involved in regulating the stresses of low-temperature and salinity. Especially, DoGRF2 might play a crucial role in the process of stress responses.【Conclusion】 17 members of DoGRF family were systematically identified from D. officinale at the genome level. Different genes possessed different responses to abiotic stresses, and exhibited tissue-specific expression profiles. DoGRF2 showed positively response to low-temperature and salt stress.
