Abstract:

Light is lightly related to the important agronomic traits in maize such as plant height, flowering time, yield and quality. Cryptochromes are blue and ultraviolet-A photoreceptors generally existing in animal, plant and microbial, which mainly regulate photomorphogenesis in plants and circadian rhythms in both of plant and animal. Therefore, the expression pattern analysis of cryptochrome in maize could lay a research foundation in the photomorphogenesis in maize. The ZmCRY1b and ZmCRY2 genes were cloned by RT-PCR. Their proteins’ function domains and the phylogenetic analysis of amino acid sequences were carried out through bioinformatics analysis. The transcription abundances of ZmCRY1b and ZmCRY2 genes in different tissues of inbred line B73 under different light treatments were analyzed by qRT-PCR. We found that the function domains of ZmCRY1b or ZmCRY2 protein was consistent with CRY1 or CRY2 in Arabidopsis, rice and wheat, which contains the PHR and CCE domains or the PHR domain, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the three gramineous CRYs from maize, wheat, and rice belonged to the same branch, while showing low similarity to other CRY1 proteins from dicotyledons. ZmCRY1b and ZmCRY2 genes highly expressed in leaf. Meanwhile, they could respond to all treatments of different continuous light conditions, the transitions from the dark to light conditions, as well as long-day and short-day conditions. The transcription abundances of ZmCRY1b in all treatments were higher than those of ZmCRY2, indicating that ZmCRY1b was more important than ZmCRY2 in maize. In conclusion, both of ZmCRY1b and ZmCRY2 genes can greatly respond to different light conditions and light cycle treatments, and play an important role in maize photomorphogenesis. Our results also provide a research basis for functional exploration of ZmCRY1b and ZmCRY2 in crop improvement.

Key words: maize, cryptochrome, photomorphogenesis, light treatment, transcription abundance
