- 摘要：
- The members of MADS-box gene family have important roles in regulating the growth and development of plants. MADS-box genes are highly regarded for their potential to enhance grain yield and quality under shifting global conditions. Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccoides) is a progenitor of common wheat and harbors valuable traits for wheat improvement. Here, a total of 117 MADS-box genes were identified in the wild emmer wheat genome and classified to 90 MIKCC, 3 MIKC*, and 24 M-type. Furthermore, a phylogenetic analysis and expression profiling of the emmer wheat MADS-box gene family was presented. Although some MADS-box genes belonging to SOC1, SEP1, AGL17, and FLC groups have been expanded in wild emmer wheat, the number of MIKC-type MADS-box genes per subgenome is similar to that of rice and Arabidopsis. On the other hand, M-type genes of wild emmer wheat is less frequent than that of Arabidopsis. Gene expression patterns over different tissues and developmental stages agreed with the subfamily classification of MADS-box genes and was similar to common wheat and rice, indicating their conserved functionality. Some TdMADS-box genes are also differentially expressed under drought stress. The promoter region of each of the TdMADS-box genes harbored 6 to 48 responsive elements, mainly related to light, however hormone, drought, and low-temperature related cis-acting elements were also present. In conclusion, the results provide detailed information about the MADS-box genes of wild emmer wheat. The present work could be useful in the functional genomics efforts toward breeding for agronomically important traits in T. dicoccoides.
