Abstract:

Metabolism related to lipids synthesis plays an important role inregulating both oil biosynthesis and fiber development in cotton. Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAT) is a key enzyme in oil biosynthesis pathway in plant. In this study, eight cotton LPAT family genes were identified and their gene sequences, chromosome location were obtained, based on G. raimondii genome database (http://www.phytozome.net/) and bioinformatic method. These LPAT members were anchored on six chromosomes in G. raimondii. Phylogenetic analysis showed that LPAT candidate genes were classified into four groups, with two members each in group I and group III, one in group II,and three in group IV. The expression patterns of LPAT genes revealedtheir important roles in diverse functions in the developmental stages of vegetative and reproductive growth in cotton. LPAT6 and LPAT8 showed the highest expression level in ovules at 17days post-anthesis, which might play an important role in regulating oil biosynthesis. Eight genes showed the preferential expression level in fiber development stages. Among them,LPAT2, LPAT3, and LPAT4 showed the higher expression level in fiber than in other tissues and organs, implying their association with cotton fiber development.
