GATA是真核生物中许多生物保守的重要转录因子家族之一,在许多途径中具有不同的生物学作用。特别是在植物的光照调节中。尽管GATA转录因子(TF)已经在不同的作物物种中被鉴定,尚未在马铃薯中研究它们在非生物胁迫耐受性中的作用。在这项研究中,我们通过硅分析鉴定了马铃薯(马铃薯)中的32个GATATFs,并在光照下研究了耐旱(Sante)和敏感(Agria)品种中选定的六个基因的表达水平,干旱,和组合(光照+干旱)胁迫条件。根据系统发育结果,StGATATFs分为四个主要组(I,II,III,和IV)和I和II中的不同亚组(8和5,分别)。StGATA基因以保守的外显子/内含子结构均匀地定位于每个染色体。StGATA家族中顺式元件的存在进一步支持了非生物胁迫耐受性和光响应的可能参与,组织特异性表达,和荷尔蒙调节。其他PPI调查显示,这些网络,尤其是对于I组,II,IV,在响应光照和干旱胁迫中起重要作用。从这些组中选择了六个StGATA进行表达谱分析,他们在Sante和Agria的表达主要在紫色和红色灯光下下调,干旱,和联合胁迫(蓝色+干旱和紫色+干旱)。选定StGATA的交互体,对StGATA3、StGATA24和StGATA29进行了分析,并检查具有GATA基序的种质的表达。结果表明,目标蛋白,细胞周期蛋白P3-1,含SPX结构域的蛋白1,线粒体钙单转体蛋白2,丝裂原活化蛋白激酶激酶激酶YODA,和剪接因子3B亚基4样,主要在植物色素介导的气孔模式中起作用,发展,和活动。了解干旱胁迫与马铃薯植物的光响应机制之间的相互作用至关重要。最终有可能通过操纵在这些途径中发挥作用的TFs来增强马铃薯对气候变化的适应能力。
GATA is one of the prominent transcription factor families conserved among many organisms in eukaryotes and has different biological roles in many pathways, particularly in light regulation in plants. Although GATA transcription factors (TFs) have been identified in different crop species, their roles in abiotic stress tolerance have not been studied in potato. In this study, we identified 32 GATA TFs in potato (Solanum tuberosum) by in silico analyses, and expression levels of selected six genes were investigated in drought-tolerant (Sante) and sensitive (Agria) cultivars under light, drought, and combined (light + drought) stress conditions. According to the phylogenetic results, StGATA TFs were divided into four main groups (I, II, III, and IV) and different sub-groups in I and II (eight and five, respectively). StGATA genes were uniformly localized to each chromosome with a conserved exon/intron structure. The presence of cis-elements within the StGATA family further supported the possible involvement in abiotic stress tolerance and light response, tissue-specific expression, and hormonal regulation. Additional PPI investigations showed that these networks, especially for Groups I, II, and IV, play a significant role in response to light and drought stress. Six StGATAs were chosen from these groups for expressional profiling, and their expression in both Sante and Agria was mainly downregulated under purple and red lights, drought, and combined stress (blue + drought and purple + drought). The interactomes of selected StGATAs, StGATA3, StGATA24, and StGATA29 were analyzed, and the accessions with GATA motifs were checked for expression. The results showed that the target proteins, cyclin-P3-1, SPX domain-containing protein 1, mitochondrial calcium uniporter protein 2, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase YODA, and splicing factor 3 B subunit 4-like, mainly play a role in phytochrome-mediated stomatal patterning, development, and activity. Understanding the interactions between drought stress and the light response mechanisms in potato plants is essential. It will eventually be possible to enhance potato resilience to climate change by manipulating the TFs that play a role in these pathways.
