Abstract:

Drought stress is one of the main abiotic stress factors affecting potato yield and quality. The root growth, development and architecture play an important role in potato drought resistance. The Igt gene family is a functional gene family that are ubiquitous in plants, and has significant effects in regulating root architecture and improving plant stress resistance. In this study, the potato double haploid ‘DM-v4.03’ high-quality genome was used as a reference, and members of the StIgt gene family were identified and analyzed on a genome-wide scale. Phylogenetic trees, chromosomal location, conservative protein domains, gene structure and cis element prediction were carried out by bioinformatics software. Meanwhile, the expression profiles of StIgts in response to drought stress were analyzed based on the transcriptome sequencing results of potato tetraploid lines under different drought conditions. The results showed that a total of 10 StIgt family members were identified in potato, of which StIgt1 was obtained and cloned by our research group. Except for the unknown position information of StIgt1, the remaining genes are unevenly distributed on chromosome 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, and 11. StIgts proteins range in length from 110 to 283 amino acids and have molecular weights ranging from 13.136 kD to 32.542 kD. The predicted isoelectric point is 3.82 to 9.86. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the gene family can be divided into three subfamilies. The gene structure, protein conserved domains and cis-acting elements differ significantly among three subfamilies. The expression profile analysis under drought stress showed that StIgt6, StIgt7, StIgt9 and StIgt10 responded to the early drought stress which rapidly up-regulated at two hours of drought treatment. These results provide a theoretical basis for elucidating the evolutionary relationship of the StIgt gene family and further studying the functional characteristics of its members.
