摘要: WRKY 转录因子家族在调控植物逆境诱导反应、生长发育及其信号转导等方面起着重要的分子生物学功能。文章采用Northern 杂交的方法, 对拟南芥3个WRKY基因进行表达谱分析。结果表明: AtWRKY25AtWRKY26AtWRKY33受多种非生物逆境因子(温度因子、高盐、渗透胁迫和激素脱落酸)的影响, 其中低温和高盐对AtWRKY25AtWRKY26AtWRKY33的诱导尤为明显, 表明这3个AtWRKY基因可能在响应环境信号方面起着一定的作用。作为序列相似性较高的AtWRKY25AtWRKY26AtWRKY33对一些胁迫因子的表达模式呈现一定的相似性; 但AtWRKY33受高温的抑制和低温的快速诱导, 与另外两个基因的表达模式不同, 推测它们对温度胁迫因子的反应存在差异。此外, 对启动子序列的生物信息学分析发现, 3个基因的启动子包含多个与非生物逆境反应相关的顺式作用元件。

Abstract: The transcription factor WRKY family is one type of key regulatory components of plant development and defense against stress factors. The expression profiles of three AtWRKY genes under abiotic stresses were analyzed by Northern blotting analysis. The expression of AtWRKY25, AtWRKY26, and AtWRKY33 changed during stress treatments including thermal factors, NaCl, abscisic acid (ABA) and osmotic stress, and significantly under NaCl and cold treatments, suggesting a specific role of the three AtWRKYs in adaptation to environmental stresses in plants. We also found that the three AtWRKY genes showed distinct expression patterns under thermal stresses. AtWRKY25 and AtWRKY26 were gradually induced during heat and cold treatments, whereas AtWRKY33 was suppressed by heat treatment and induced rapidly during cold stress, indicating that the three AtWRKYs may play different roles in response to temperature factors. In addition, we analyzed the sequence of the promoters with bioinformatics approach, and some cis-elements involved in abiotic stresses and hormonal responses were revealed. The results provided important information for studying biological functions of three AtWRKY genes.
