摘要: 杜鹃花属具有极高的物种多样性和观赏价值, 其中马银花(Rhododendron ovatum)花型独特, 具有低海拔适应性, 在我国南方地区有良好的应用前景。基于杜鹃花目代表性植物的基因组信息, 探究MADS-box基因家族在杜鹃花目中的进化特点并挖掘马银花的花器官发育关键基因。系统进化分析表明, 杜鹃花科3个代表性物种(马银花、映山红(R. simsii)和马缨杜鹃(R. delavayi))中的MADS-box基因家族成员数目较为一致, 包括AP1AP3PIAGSEP等19个亚家族, 其中SVPANR1、Mα、Mβ和Mγ亚家族成员数量较多。马银花的AGSEP基因有多个拷贝, 而AP3/PI基因的拷贝数目较少, 显示出更加保守的进化模式。基因表达分析表明, 马银花MADS-box基因的表达模式存在组织特异性。AP1AP3/PIAGSEP和MIKC*分支基因在花器官中特异性表达。综上, 该文探讨了马银花MADS-box基因家族进化历史, 以及部分MADS-box基因可能具有的功能, 可为深入研究马银花的发育和MADS-box基因功能提供参考。

Abstract: Rhododendron is famous for its diversity and ornamental value. Rhododendron ovatum has unique flower type and low-altitude adaptability, thus possessing landscape application prospect in southern China. In this study, we analyzed evolutionary pattern within Ericales based on recently published genomes, and identified key genes underlying flower development of R. ovatum. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the number of MADS-box genes in three representative species of Rhododendron (R. ovatum, R. simsii, and R. delavayi) was relatively consistent and can be divided into 19 subfamilies, including AP1, AP3, PI, AG, and SEP. MADS-box gene have expanded, especially SVP, ANR1, Mα, Mβ, and Mγ. Multiple copies were retained in AG and SEP clades in R. ovatum. While a few copies of AP3/PI gene, indicating a more conservative evolutionary pattern. The transcriptome data illustrated tissue-specific expression pattern in MADS-box genes, among which AP1, AP3/PI, AG, SEP and MIKC* genes are specifically expressed in floral organs. Overall, we discussed evolutionary history of MADS-box gene family in R. ovatum and proposed functions, providing reference for further study the flower development and functional analysis of MADS-box genes in R. ovatum.
