Abstract:

To lay a foundation for studying the molecular regulation mechanism of LTP family gene and molecular genetic improvement of Populus davidiana × P. alba var. pyramidalis, the expression pattern of LTP family genes from P. davidiana × P. alba var. pyramidalis was analyzed.The protein properties, multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic tree analysis of LTP family members were performed to show their structural features. The P. davidiana × P. alba var. pyramidalis seedlings treated with gravity, salt and PEG stress respectively were subjected to quantitive real time PCR analysis. The expression patterns of PdbLTP family genes were carried out respectively. Eight PdbLTP genes and two subfamily PdbGLTP genes were obtained, and their CDS lengths were ranged from 294-396 bp. LTP family were hydrophobic proteins and had eight cysteine conserved structures, without transmembrane region. qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression patterns of different PdbLTP family genes were different under gravity processing. Expression levels of PdbLTP1PdbLTP3PdbLTP5 and PdbLTP7 genes were up-regulated in tension wood compared to those in the normal wood. The transcripts levels of PdbLTP1PdbLTP2PdbLTP3PdbLTP5 genes were abundant in stem.Expression of PdbLTP family genes was induced by salt stress except for PdbLTP5. PdbLTP1PdbLTP2PdbLTP3 and PdbLTP5 were up-regulated under drought stress. Different members of PdbLTP gene family play important roles in regulation of xylem development and tolerance to abiotic stress in Populus davidiana × P. alba var. pyramidalis.

Key words: Populus davidiana×P. alba var. pyramidalis, LTP family, bioinformatics, expression pattern analysis
