Abstract:

Auxin, as one of the most important hormones, plays a key role in many processes of plant development. The Aux/IAA family contains important early auxin response genes. A genome-wide research of Aux/IAA genes in Aegilops tauschii was carried out using bioinformatic method. In this study, 28 Aux/IAA genes were identified in Ae. tauschii, which were distributed on seven chromosomes of Ae. tauschii genome. Twenty Aux/IAA genes share four conserved amino acid sequence motifs and five were mapped on the same locus with known markers. AetIAA3, AetIAA11, and AetIAA26 were specifically expressed in pistil, seed and root of Ae. tauschii, respectively. Eleven pairs of Ae. tauschii–Triticum urartu and five pairs of Ae. tauschii–Hordeum vulgare Aux/IAA proteins were orthologous in the phylogenetic tree. Collinearity analysis indicated Aux/IAA genes showed a higher synteny between Ae. tauschii and two other species (Brachypodium distachyon and Oryza stativa). The Aux/IAA genes isolated can not only be applied in genetic improvement of common wheat but also provide basic information in further research of Aux/IAA genes in wheat.
