Abstract

Peganum harmala is a valuable wild plant that grows and survives under adverse conditions and produces pharmaceutical alkaloid metabolites. Using different assemblers to develop a transcriptome improves the quality of assembled transcriptome. In this study, a concrete and accurate method for detecting stress-responsive transcripts by comparing stress-related gene ontology (GO) terms and public domains was designed. An integrated transcriptome for P. harmala including 42656 coding sequences was created by merging de novo assembled transcriptomes. Around 35000 transcripts were annotated with more than 90% resemblance to three closely related species of Citrus , which confirmed the robustness of the assembled transcriptome; 4853 stress-responsive transcripts were identified. CYP82 involved in alkaloid biosynthesis showed a higher number of transcripts in P. harmala than in other plants, indicating its diverse alkaloid biosynthesis attributes. Transcription factors (TFs) and regulatory elements with 3887 transcripts comprised 9% of the transcriptome. Among the TFs of the integrated transcriptome, cystein2/histidine2 (C2H2) and WD40 repeat families were the most abundant. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) signaling map and the plant hormone signal transduction map showed the highest assigned genes to these pathways, suggesting their potential stress resistance. The P. harmala whole-transcriptome survey provides important resources and paves the way for functional and comparative genomic studies on this plant to discover stress-tolerance-related markers and response mechanisms in stress physiology, phytochemistry, ecology, biodiversity, and evolution. P. harmala can be a potential model for studying adverse environmental cues and metabolite biosynthesis and a major source for the production of various alkaloids.

Abstract

Transcription factors (TF) are the elements, which regulate gene expression. Regulatory function of TFs play an important role in plant biological processes and mechanisms. They may interconnect with other transcription factors or functional genes to modulate their expression in response to an internal/external factor like life cycle stage, growth, development and stress. Arabidopsis is the well-known and the most used model organism. Transcription factors of three Arabidopsis species including A. halleri, A. lyrata and A. thaliana, were compared. basic/helix-loop-helix (bHLH) with 220 TFs was the most abundant family among three Arabidopsis species while MYB and MYB related families considering as a whole group were more than bHLH with 308 TFs. No STERILE APETALA (SAP) TF homolog was found for A.halleri. The common transcription factors among three species were 4,172 grouped in 1,212 clusters. The species-specific clustered TFs were 12, 30 and 58 for A. halleri, A. lyrata and A. thaliana respectively. Eight hundred ninety two single-copy gene clusters those have one gene copy from each species, i.e. 2,676 genes, were listed. Four hundred forty five TF singletons were not clustered and are unique among three species. For clustered TF belonging to each species, GO terms and SwissProt hits showed that A. halleri has two species-specific TFs involved in heavy metal response including Zinc finger protein AZF2 and two-component response regulator ARR11 while for A. lyrata specific TFs are involved in stress response and plant development. A. thaliana specific clustered TFs work on plant flower development and acclimation. Transcription factors (TF) are the elements, which regulate gene expression.
