Abstract:

Neutral/alkaline invertases,as important substances in plant sucrose metabolism,are mainly involved in processes such as plant growth and development,and response to adversity stress.To investigate the response pattern of AsNI to stress,this study cloned two garlic neutral/alkaline invertase genes,using Ledu purple skin garlic as the test material and they were subjected to bioinformatics and expression characterization.The results showed that the open reading frames of AsNI1 and AsNI2 were 522,1 203 bp,encoded 173,400 amino acids.AsNI1 and AsNI2 were both hydrophilic proteins predicted to be localized in the cytoplasm with a Glyco_hydro_100 structural domain.However,the amino acid sequence similarity between the two was only 25.75%,and AsNI2 contained one glycosylation site,while no glycosylation site was detected in AsNI1,and the two were distantly related.The analysis of the protein interaction network showed that AsNI2 and AsNI1 might participate in different biochemical processes.The promoter sequence analysis revealed that the promoter regions of AsNI1 and AsNI2 contained multiple cis-acting elements related to stress response,with the AsNI2 promoter having a significantly larger number of drought and low temperature stress response elements than AsNI1.The prediction of promoter transcription factor binding sites showed that they contained different kinds and numbers of binding sites,indicated that AsNI1 and AsNI2 could perform different gene functions.The qRT-PCR assay revealed that the expression of AsNI was significantly tissue-specific,with the highest expression of AsNI1 and AsNI2 in the roots and bulbs,respectively.Meanwhile,adversity stress was able to induce AsNI expression,and the response of AsNI2 was stronger than that of AsNI1 under both low temperature and drought treatments.Among them,low temperature stress mainly induced the expression of AsNI2 in leaves,and drought stress mainly induced the expression of AsNI2 in roots.The sequence characteristics and expression pattern of AsNI were analyzed to verify the stress resistance function of AsNI.
