Abstract:

Peanut is a plant that blooms above ground and bears fruit underground. In our earlier studies, the voltage dependent anion channel (AhVDAC) gene was detected to be involved in gravitropism of peanut gynophores. In this study, the full-length cDNA of peanut AhVDAC gene was cloned, and the prokaryotic expression, subcellular localization, and the relative expression level of AhVDAC gene in gravitropism were analyzed. The results showed that the open reading frame of AhVDAC gene was 831 bp encoding a protein containing 276 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 29.7 kD and pI 6.38. Subcellular localization showed that AhVDAC gene was mainly located in cytoplasm. The prokaryotic expression vector pPROEXHTa-AhVDAC was constructed, and the 37 kD AhVDAC protein was induced, isolated, and purified. The relative expression level of AhVDAC in gynophores at different developmental days was analyzed by RT-PCR, and the results showed that the relative expression level of AhVDAC gene was the highest at the 2nd day, and then decreased gradually and maintained at a lower level. The application of exogenous CaCl2 and LaCl3 to peanut gynophores in vitro revealed that CaCl2 treatment could significantly promote the relative expression of AhVDAC gene and the geotropic bending of gynophores, whereas LaCl3 treatment could decelerate the relative expression of AhVDAC gene and geotropic bending of gynophores. In conclusion, we speculated that Ca2+ accumulation may promote the expression of AhVDAC and Ca2+was asymmetrically distributed through the transport of AhVDAC on biological membrane, so that the growth direction of peanut gynophore was changed and geotropic bending occurs.

Key words: peanut, gynophore, the voltage dependent anion channel gene (AhVDAC), clone, gene expression
