Pathogen-related proteins (PRs) are diversified proteins with a low molecular weight implicated in plant response to biotic and abiotic stress as well in regulating different functions in plant maturation. Interestingly, no systematical study has been conducted in durum wheat ( subsp. ). In the present study, encoding a CAP superfamily domain were identified in the genome of subsp. , which is an important cereal, using in silico approaches. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis showed that the genes were classified into three groups based on their isoelectric point and the conserved motif domain. Moreover, our analysis showed that most of the TdPR-1 proteins presented an N-terminal signal peptide. Expression patterns analysis showed that the gene family presented temporal and spatial specificity and was induced by different abiotic stresses. This is the first report describing the genome-scale analysis of the durum wheat gene family, and these data will help further study the roles of genes during stress responses, leading to crop improvement.
病原体相关蛋白(PRs)是一类分子量较低的多样化蛋白质,它们参与植物对生物和非生物胁迫的响应,以及调节植物成熟过程中的不同功能。有趣的是,尚未在硬粒小麦(亚种)中进行系统研究。在本研究中,利用计算机模拟方法在重要谷物硬粒小麦亚种的基因组中鉴定出编码CAP超家族结构域的基因。此外,系统发育分析表明,这些基因根据其等电点和保守基序结构域被分为三组。而且,我们的分析表明,大多数TdPR-1蛋白都有一个N端信号肽。表达模式分析表明,该基因家族具有时空特异性,并受到不同非生物胁迫的诱导。这是第一份描述硬粒小麦基因家族全基因组规模分析的报告,这些数据将有助于进一步研究基因在胁迫响应中的作用,从而实现作物改良。
