Abstract
The TCP gene family plays pivotal roles in the development and abiotic stress responses of plants; however, no data has been provided for this gene family in Opisthopappus taihangensis. Based on O. taihangensis genome, 14 TCP genes were identified and divided into two classes (I and II). After tandem and segmental duplication/whole-genome duplication (WGD), more loss and less gain events of OtTCPs occurred, which might be related with the underwent purifying selection during the evolution. The conserved motifs and structures of OtTCP genes contained light response, growth and development, hormone response, and stress-related cis-acting elements. Different OtTCP genes, even duplicated gene pairs, could be expressed in different tissues, which implied that OtTCP genes had diverse function. Among OtTCPs, OtTCP4, 9 and 11 of CYC clade (Class II) presented a relative wide expression pattern with no or one intron. The three TCP genes could be regarded as important candidate factors for O. taihangensis in growth, development and stress response. These results provided some clues and references for the further in-depth exploration of O. taihangensis resistance mechanisms, as well as those of other unique eco-environment plants.
期刊介绍:
In an ever changing world, plant science is of the utmost importance for securing the future well-being of humankind. Plants provide oxygen, food, feed, fibers, and building materials. In addition, they are a diverse source of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals. Plants are centrally important to the health of ecosystems, and their understanding is critical for learning how to manage and maintain a sustainable biosphere. Plant science is extremely interdisciplinary, reaching from agricultural science to paleobotany, and molecular physiology to ecology. It uses the latest developments in computer science, optics, molecular biology and genomics to address challenges in model systems, agricultural crops, and ecosystems. Plant science research inquires into the form, function, development, diversity, reproduction, evolution and uses of both higher and lower plants and their interactions with other organisms throughout the biosphere. Frontiers in Plant Science welcomes outstanding contributions in any field of plant science from basic to applied research, from organismal to molecular studies, from single plant analysis to studies of populations and whole ecosystems, and from molecular to biophysical to computational approaches.
Frontiers in Plant Science publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Plant Science. The mission of Frontiers in Plant Science is to bring all relevant Plant Science areas together on a single platform.
