Abstract

DELLA gene family is involved in the regulation of signal transduction of plant hormones. mRNAs of GA insensitive (GAI), the member of DELLA gene family, are also signaling molecules of long-distance transport in plants. Genome-wide identification and mRNA transport analysis of the members of DELLA gene family in head cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) can provide basic data for their application in head cabbage. In this study, five members of DELLA gene family (BoRGA1, BoRGA2, BoRGL1, BoRGL2, and BoRGL3) were identified in head cabbage using genome and transcriptome data. However, head cabbage lacked a GAI gene in its genome. The scion (head cabbage, inbred line G27) and the rootstock Chinese flowering cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. utilis Tsen et Lee) (sijiucaixin) were cleft-grafted together to produce the heterograft. Inflorescence stem of the rootstock and the corresponding inflorescence stem in Chinese flowering cabbage seedlings (as controls) were purified and analyzed with transcriptome sequencing. The total of 8, 9, 3, 5, and 1 exogenous read(s), derived respectively from BoRGA1, BoRGA2, BoRGL1, BoRGL2, and BoRGL3, were identified in the transcriptomes of the rootstocks. Nevertheless, mRNA transport of DELLA family genes from scion to rootstock did not increase the transcriptional level of the members of DELLA gene family in the rootstocks. Correlation analysis suggested that mRNA transport efficiency of the DELLA family genes was correlated with the sequence and the transcriptional level of the respective DELLA gene in the scion (head cabbage). This study lays the foundation for further investigation on the molecular mechanism of mRNA transport of the members of DELLA gene family in head cabbage.
