Abstract:

To explore the relationship level between CaMADS6 expression and floral organ development of pepper,CaMADS6 was cloned for bioinformatics prediction from the sterile line 9704A and the maintainer line 9704B,and the spatiotemporal expression characteristics of this gene were analyzed.The results showed that the CaMADS6 cloned from 9704A and 9704B had the same coding sequence,with a full length of 744 bp and encoding 247 amino acid residues.CaMADS6 protein had the relative molecular weight of 28.67 ku and theoretical isoelectric point of 8.98.It was a hydrophilic protein with no transmembrane structure.The secondary structure of CaMADS6 consisted of 57.49% α-helices,8.91% extended chains and 28.74% irregular coils.The CaMADS6 protein shared 100% homology with CaFUL2,which possessed a typical MADS-box characteristics.CaMADS6 was expressed in different organs of 9704A and 9704B at different developmental stages and the expression was the highest in flower buds,followed by leaves and stems,and almost no expression in roots.The expression of CaMADS6 in stems of 9704A was significantly lower than that of 9704B at seedling,flower bud and adult stages,and the expression of CaMADS6 in leaves was significantly lower than that of 9704B at the adult stage.The expression level of CaMADS6 in flower buds of 9704A was extremely significantly higher than that of 9704B at flower bud and adult stage,and its expression level was 2.2 and 3.5 times higher than in 9704B,respectively;CaMADS6 gene was expressed in different parts of flower organs of 9704A and 9704B,and the expression of CaMADS6 gene from high to low was calyx,corolla,ovary and anther.The expression level of CaMADS6 in the calyx and corolla of 9704A was extremely significantly or significantly lower than that of 9704B,the expression level of CaMADS6 were 66%,83% of 9704B,respectively.The expression level of CaMADS6 in 9704A anther was 34 times higher than in 9704B,and the difference between the two groups was extremely significant,predicting the abnormal expression of CaMADS6 in anthers was closely related to pepper male sterility.
