Abstract: Delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase(P5CS) plays a critical role in improving the stress tolerance of plants. In this study, the full length cDNA sequence of P5CS gene was cloned from Alkaligrass(Puccinellia chinampoensis) leaves using RT-PCR method, the primers were designed according to the homologous P5CS gene sequences of other plant species. Sequence analysis showed that the nucleotide sequence of this gene is 2 158 bp,containing a complete open reading frame and encoding 716 amino acids,Genebank: HQ637435. Nucleotide and amino acid sequence analysis revealed that PuP5CSshares high identity with the orthologs from Triticum aestivum. And its signal peptide,hydrophobicity /hydrophilic, trans-membrane domain,secondary structure and main functional domains were predicted. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that PuP5CSexpressed in different tissues,but the expression in root was lower,and in leaf much higher. Various elevated levels of PuP5CSexpression have been detected when exposed to 4 different stress experimental treatment,and the results was not the same.

Key words: Puccinellia chinampoensis, P5CS, Gene clone
