Abstract:

Lysophospholipid acid actyltransferase (LPAT) is a pivotal enzyme of triacylglycerol biosynthesis, which plays a key role in lipid synthesis, development of plant seeds and bio-membrane fluidity. Through the technology of homology-based cloning, two copies of LPAT4 full-length CDS sequences (1143 bp and 1140 bp) were cloned in this study, designated as BnLPAT4-1and BnLPAT4-2, respectively. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that they shared the LPLAT_LCLAT1 like domain and belonged to the LPLAT superfamily. Temporal and spatial expression results showed that BnLPAT4-1 and BnLPAT4-2 were constitutive expression genes. Among them, the highest expression of BnLPAT4-1 was in leaf, while that ofBnLPAT4-2 was in embryo. Stresses analysis indicated that BnLPAT4-1and BnLPAT4-2 presented different expression patterns under the treatments of NaCl, PEG4000, waterlogging, 6BA and ABA. Pole difference analysis displayed that ABA had a great effect on the expression of BnLPAT4-1, while BnLPAT4-2 was more sensitive to PEG-4000.The results provided a base for the research of regulation and function of BnLPAT4 in Brassica napus.
