  •   Objective  The ICE gene family of Phyllostachys edulis (moso bamboo) was identified and analyzed to find out the key family members responding to cold resistance of moso bamboo, and to lay a theoretical foundation for further research on the biological functions of moso bamboo ICE genes, the molecular mechanisms responding to low-temperature stress, and the genetic transformation to improve the cold resistance of moso bamboo.   Method  Bioinformatics methods were used to identify and analyze the ICE gene family members of moso bamboo, and to analyze the physiological indexes and the expression patterns of ICE genes in moso bamboo at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 24.0, and 48.0 h of low-temperature treatments at 4, 0 and −2 ℃.   Result  A total of four mosaic bamboo ICE genes were identified. Conserved structural domains and multiple sequence comparison analyses showed that their structures were highly similar. Phylogenetic relationships and promoter cis-acting element analyses showed that the PeICE gene was more closely related to rice, and a large number of cis-acting elements associated with abiotic stresses were also present. Reactive oxygen radical (superoxide anion) staining revealed that the ROS staining gradually deepened with the increase in treatment time, but its staining gradually weakened after 24.0 h of 0 ℃ treatment and 1.0 h of −2 ℃ treatment. Proline content and superoxide dismutase activity assays revealed an overall increase in Pro and SOD content at 4 ℃ and 0 ℃, but their expression was lower than the control at −2 ℃, and peroxidase activity assays revealed an increase at all three temperatures. Analysis of ICE gene expression pattern revealed that the overall expression of PeICE increased in 4 ℃ and 0 ℃ treatment, and the most obvious increase was in PeICE3. The overall expression level of PeICE was lower than that of the control at −2.0 ℃.   Conclusion  With the decrease of cold treatment temperature and the enhancement of treatment time, moso bamboo was subjected to increasing damage, and its in vivo enzyme activity system as well as ICE genes responded positively to cold stress, and PeICE3 was the most sensitive to cold stress, whereas the expression of ICE genes did not increase at −2 ℃, and it was hypothesized that this gene family responded to low-temperature stress instead of freezing stress.

  • 低温是影响植物生长发育、限制植物生产力和世界各地物种分布的最重要因素之一[1− 3]。低温胁迫包括寒冷(＜0~15 ℃)胁迫和冷冻(＜0 ℃)胁迫[4]。冷应激通常会导致植物生理变化，如与离子泄漏相关的细胞膜损伤、脯氨酸(Pro)含量的变化、活性氧自由基(ROS)的积累等[5−8]，同时会刺激一些抗应激酶的积累，如超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)以及过氧化物酶(POD)的积累[9−11]，作为保护酶系统，以限制自由基的水平，保持抗氧化剂和自由基之间的平衡。在已知的低温胁迫基因调控模型中，冷应激首先作用于信号感知和转导途径，诱导转录调控，从而激活多种冷调节蛋白(COR) [12− 13]，以提高植物对环境胁迫的耐受性[14]。C-环肽结合转录因子(CBF)途径是植物体内重要的、研究的较清楚的冷响应途径，该途径通过 ICE-CBF-COR信号通路介导[15−16]。低温胁迫下CBF基因的表达受多个转录因子的正负调控[17]，ICE(inducer of CBF expression)基因是CBFs[C-repeat-binding factors，又称冷响应通道上游调控因子(dehybration responsive element factors, DREBs)]，它能够诱导CBF基因的表达，提高植物的低温适应能力[4, 18]。

    ICE 是植物体内的一类 bHLH转录因子，含有高度保守的碱性螺旋-环-螺旋(bHLH)结构域，该结构域包含ICE特异性序列KMDRASILGDAID/EYLKELL[19−20]。目前已经在水稻Oryza sativa、龙眼Dimocarpus longan和山定子Malus baccata等物种中鉴定出ICE基因，并有研究表明龙眼DlICE1和山定子MbICE1的过表达分别增加了转基因烟草Nicotiana benthamiana[21]和拟南芥Arabidopsis thaliana[22]的耐寒性。此外，过表达水稻OsICE1同时提高了拟南芥的耐寒性[23]、耐旱性和光合作用效率[24]。

    毛竹Phyllostachys edulis是生长最快的植物之一[25]，具有很高的经济、生态和社会价值[26−27]。由于其独特的“爆炸性生长”特征，被认为是21世纪最具潜力的植物种类[28]。研究竹子的胁迫响应基因有助于提高其抗逆性。目前对竹子非生物胁迫响应潜在的分子机制知之甚少[29]。毛竹中已鉴定出 153 个具有完整保守结构域的 bHLH 基因家族成员[30]，它们在毛竹不同组织和不同生长发育时期有不同程度的表达，参与植物许多非生物胁迫调控，但尚未在毛竹bHLH转录因子家族鉴定出ICE亚家族。本研究将对毛竹ICE基因家族进行全基因组鉴定,分析其在低温胁迫条件下的表达模式，鉴定响应毛竹抗寒的关键家族成员，为提高毛竹抗寒性奠定基础。

    3.   讨论

    • 目前已在多种植物中鉴定出参与低温胁迫响应的ICE基因[39−40]。但尚未进行毛竹ICE基因家族系统鉴定，本研究鉴定了4个毛竹ICE基因家族成员。进一步的系统进化树和种间共线性分析发现：毛竹与单子叶植物水稻、玉米之间的进化关系更近。4个PeICE基因由片段复制产生，不存在串联重复基因，说明在进化过程中 ICE基因通过复制进行家族成员数量的扩张。保守结构域和基因结构分析发现：PeICE基因具有相似的保守基序和基因结构，表明其在进化过程中广泛保守。启动子顺式作用元件预测表明：毛竹ICE基因启动子区域普遍存在光响应、激素响应、生长发育及胁迫响应元件[41]，表明ICE家族基因表达可能受到光照、植物激素的调控诱导或参与其信号反应途径，同时还可能参与毛竹生长发育的某些过程以及参与胁迫过程中的抗逆调控。

      有研究认为：ROS不仅能损伤细胞，还能作为关键信号分子激活第二信使、感应基因转录和改变酶活性来调控植物的许多生理过程[42]。植物受到轻度胁迫时，体内酶促系统可有效提高ROS 的清除能力，保护植物免受环境胁迫的危害。本研究结果表明：毛竹受到寒冷胁迫时，随着温度降低和处理时间延长，其受到的伤害不断增加，体内SOD、POD活性显著增加以减轻ROS累积受到的损伤，与此同时PeICE基因表达量显著上升，其中PeICE3表达量上升最为显著，推测该基因可能参与毛竹ICE-CBF-COR调控途径抗寒。但当毛竹在冷冻胁迫下，体内ROS逐渐积累，SOD将不发挥作用，PeICE基因表达量低于对照或无显著差异，此时PeICE基因参与抗冻的可能性不大。

    4.   结论

    • 随着温度降低和处理时间加长，毛竹受到的损伤不断增强，体内酶活系统以及ICE基因积极响应低温胁迫。4个PeICE基因表达模式分析发现：转化PeICE3更容易获得耐低温的材料，研制出抗寒新品种。
