甘薯 KUP/HAK/KT 基因家族的全基因组鉴定和表达模式分析.

【Objective】The present paper aimed to identify and analyze the KUP/HAK/KT gene family in sweet potato and provided a theoretical basis for further study on the function of IbHAK gene. 【Method】Based on bioinformatics, the KUP/HAK/KT gene family of sweet potato was identified at the whole genome level by the genome data of Taizhong No.6, and the basic characteristics, phylogenetic evolution, gene replication and expression patterns of family members were further analyzed. 【Result】A total of 22 IbHAK genes were identified in sweet potato. The length of IbHAK protein ranged from 227 aa to 1252 aa, the molecular weight ranged from 18 297.95 to 140 640.46 u, and the isoelectric point ranged from 5.54 to 9.31, all IbHAK genes were located on the plasma membrane, and the complete secondary structure of IbHAK protein had 4 to 13 transmembrane regions. According to the phylogenetic relationship, it could be divided into four evolutionary clusters: Cluster Ⅰ, Cluster Ⅱ, Cluster Ⅲ and Cluster Ⅳ. Chromosome mapping showed that 22 genes were distributed on 11 chromosomes, among which Chr4 chromosome was the most distributed, with 4 IbHAK genes, and 8 replication genes were produced by 22 IbHAK genes. All of the 22 IbHAK genes contained TATA and CAAT elements related to plant growth and development as well as light-responsive elements. All of the IbHAK genes contained at least one stress-responsive element and one hormone-responsive element. IbHAK genes showed tissue expression specificity, among which IbHAK6, IbHAK8, IbHAK9 and IbHAK22 had the highest expression levels in roots, and the expression levels of many IbHAK genes changed under stress. 【Conclusion】Twenty-two KUP/HAK/KT gene family members were identified from the whole genome of sweet potato. IbHAK6, IbHAK8, IbHAK9 and IbHAK22 gene family members were conserved in evolution. Most of IbHAK genes were able to respond to stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
