  •   Objective  The aim is to explore the role of PeCIGRs in the development of Phyllostachys edulis stem and abiotic stresss, as to provide reference for the study of high growth and stress resistance mechanism.   Method  The PeCIGRs gene was cloned from the internodes located in the middle of a 3-m young Ph. edulis. The physical and chemical properties and phylogenetic relationship of PeCIGRs protein were explored by bioinformatics analysis. The expression pattern of PeCIGRs gene in different tissues and under abiotic stresses and hormone treatment were analyzed based on transcriptome data.   Result  Four CIGR genes were cloned from Ph. edulis, named PeCIGR1-a, PeCIGR1-b, PeCIGR2-a and PeCIGR2-b. The nucleotide sequence length of the four CIGR genes was 1 635−1 716 bp, and the amino acid sequence length was 544−571 bp. Multiple sequence alignment revealed that all four CIGR genes had conserved GRAS domains, which belonged to GRAS family. Tissue-specific expression analysis revealed that PeCIGRs was mainly expressed in Ph. edulis stem and reached its peak at the top of 3-m young Ph. edulis. In addition, the expression analysis under different stresses and hormone treatments found that PeCIGRs showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing under drought, salt stress and salicylic acid treatment. Under abscisic acid treatment, PeCIGR1-a and PeCIGR1-b genes increased first and then decreased, while PeCIGR2-a and PeCIGR2-b showed a downward trend after 24 h of treatment.   Conclusion  PeCIGRs gene is involved in the regulation of the growth and development of Ph. edulis stem, and response to abiotic stress (drought and salt) and hormone (abscisic acid and salicylic acid) as well.

  • 毛竹Phyllostachys edulis属禾本科Poaceae竹亚科Bambusoideae刚竹属Phyllostachys，具有快速生长的特性，最高日生长量超过1 m[1−2]，是中国生长最快的植物之一。同时，毛竹也是中国竹类植物中分布最广的竹种，约占中国竹资源总面积的3/4[3]。此外，毛竹的茎秆木质化程度高，柔韧性好，在木材加工等方面被广泛应用，因而还具有重要的经济价值[4]。近年来，随着竹类植物，特别是毛竹的速生特性、高经济价值等优势逐渐凸显，以毛竹为主的竹资源研究备受关注，对毛竹快速生长机制的研究较为深入。一方面是激素、miRNA和基因等内在机制对竹子高生长的调控[1, 5−6]，如CHEN等[7]研究表明：赤霉素(GA)是调控毛竹节间伸长的主要激素；另一方面是包括干旱、高盐等逆境胁迫对竹子高生长的影响，如毛美红等[8]的研究指出：干旱胁迫会显著影响毛竹新竹的胸径和株高。尽管对毛竹高生长机制的研究已涵盖了多个方面，但相比其他物种(如模式植物拟南芥Arabidopsis thaliana)，对毛竹高生长分子机制的研究仍处在起步阶段，因而探究基因对毛竹茎秆发育的作用研究十分必要，对毛竹以及其它竹资源的可持续发展有重要意义。

    CIGR基因属于GRAS转录因子家族。GRAS家族是植物特有的一类转录因子且高度保守，已在拟南芥、水稻Oryza sativa、玉米Zea mays、高粱Sorghum bicolor、毛竹等多个物种中被鉴定[9−12]，并依据序列、结构以及进化关系上的差异将该家族进一步划分为包含DELLA、HAM、PAT1等在内的共17个亚家族[13]。此外，功能研究表明：GRAS家族参与植物生长发育、非生物胁迫响应等多种生物过程和分子功能的调控[14−16]，如杨树Populus euphratica的PeSCL7过表达拟南芥后明显提高了抗盐和抗旱性[17]、拟南芥SCR突变后影响了根径向组织的分裂[18]。CIGR基因作为该家族成员之一，最早在水稻中被发现，并以参与调控病原体诱导的防御反应被熟知[19−20]。随后在多花黄精Polygonatum cyrtonema等物种中陆续被鉴定[21−22]，并对其功能展开了进一步的探究。研究发现：该基因还参与调控茎秆伸长，如水稻中通过混合分组分析法(BSA)筛选到在染色体分布上同绿色革命基因sd1紧密相连的候选基因CIGR，并发现该基因在高秆水稻的组织中高表达[23]。从植物分类学角度来看，毛竹与水稻同属于禾本科植物，参考水稻已有研究成果来探究毛竹相关机制具有重要的意义。为明确CIGR基因是否同样参与毛竹茎秆发育以及是否还参与逆境等非生物胁迫的响应，本研究利用文献中已鉴定的水稻CIGR基因[24]的序列在毛竹数据库中进行比对，得到4条同源基因，结合克隆和组织特异性表达、逆境胁迫及植物生长调节剂响应分析初步对毛竹CIGR基因进行探究，以期为研究毛竹CIGR基因的功能与作用机制提供基础。

      • 2.5.   PeCIGRs基因在不同组织中的表达模式

    • 通过分析PeCIGRs基因在毛竹不同部位以及不同组织的表达模式发现(图4)：PeCIGR1-a、PeCIGR1-b、PeCIGR2-a、PeCIGR2-b在不同发育阶段毛竹茎秆中的表达高于其他组织，如叶片、叶鞘、箨片、鞭、根以及不同部位的芽，且4个基因的表达峰值都集中在3 m高的幼竹顶部。此外，在茎秆的其他发育阶段中，PeCIGR1-a、PeCIGR1-b基因主要在1.5 m幼竹底部、顶部高表达；PeCIGR2-a、PeCIGR2-b则主要在6.7 m幼竹的底部、中部高表达。综上表明，PeCIGRs基因可能在毛竹茎秆发育中发挥着重要的作用。

      • 2.6.   PeCIGRs基因在非生物胁迫和植物生长调节剂处理下的表达模式

    • 通过分析PeCIGRs基因在非生物胁迫(盐、干旱)和植物生长调节剂处理(脱落酸、水杨酸)下的表达模式发现(图5)：PeCIGR1-a、PeCIGR1-b、PeCIGR2-a、PeCIGR2-b在盐、干旱、水杨酸处理中表达模式一致，均呈现先升高后下降的变化趋势。在脱落酸处理中，4个CIGR基因呈现2种不同的表达模式，其中PeCIGR1-a、PeCIGR1-b是在处理3 h后明显上调，在24 h后表达下调，而PeCIGR2-a、PeCIGR2-b基因在处理后3 h没有明显变化趋势，在处理24 h后表现出下调的趋势。综上所述，PeCIGR1-a、PeCIGR1-b、PeCIGR2-a、PeCIGR2-b对盐、干旱胁迫具有强烈的响应，对水杨酸、脱落酸具有一定的应答作用。

    3.   讨论

    • 基因调控在竹子快速生长中扮演着重要的角色，如参与细胞壁合成的CesAs基因、参与响应激素的PheSAUR29基因等[27−28]。现有竹子基因层面的研究多参考水稻等模式植物展开，如毛竹PeGA20ox1基因，是与水稻、二穗短柄草等物种进行比对后得到的同源性较高的基因，该基因通过异源转入拟南芥后显著增加了株高和节间长度[29]。本研究同样是在水稻茎秆发育研究中发现了1个与茎秆伸长密切相关的基因CIGR，该基因是赤霉素应答基因，在光信号转导[21]、赤霉素(GA)信号转导[20]以及茎秆发育[23]等途径都参与调控。为探究该基因在毛竹生长发育等途径中是否参与调控，本研究通过克隆及表达分析等方法对毛竹CIGR基因展开初步探究。

      除在水稻中被报道外，CIGR基因也在其他物种中被发现参与调控节间伸长和茎秆发育。如小佛肚竹的BvCIGR基因异源转入水稻后引起了株高和节间的伸长[30]；白花虎眼万年青Ornithogalum thyrsoides QtCIGR1异源转入烟草Nicotiana tabacum中后显著提升节间长度[22]。与此结果相似，在分析CIGR基因在毛竹不同部位的表达情况时发现，该基因主要表达在茎秆中；在分析毛竹茎秆不同发育阶段时发现，该基因在3 m茎秆顶部的表达量最高，该时期处于竹子的速生期[31]。此外，在多物种CIGR蛋白进化系统分析及序列比对分析中还发现：毛竹CIGR蛋白与小佛肚竹、水稻的CIGR蛋白序列具有较高的相似度。这进一步为参考水稻、小佛肚竹的CIGR蛋白对毛竹相关功能进行研究提供了可靠性。综上，本研究参考与毛竹CIGR蛋白具有高相似性的物种已有研究成果，初步分析了CIGRs基因在毛竹组织中的表达特征。结果表明：毛竹PeCIGRs基因参与毛竹茎秆发育，特别是在毛竹茎秆速生期中扮演着重要的角色。

      毛竹生长喜温喜湿[32]，因而干旱等其他环境因子或非生物胁迫对其生长有重要影响[33]。GRAS家族在盐胁迫、干旱胁迫等非生物胁迫以及激素信号转导中也参与应答[34−36]，如水稻OsGRAS23过表达后提升了植物的抗旱性[37]，山葡萄Vitis amurensis VaPAT1过表达拟南芥后显著提升了植物对寒冷、干旱以及盐等非生物胁迫的抗性[38]。为明确毛竹CIGR基因是否也参与非生物胁迫应答，本研究对毛竹CIGR基因启动子顺式作用元件进行了预测，发现与非生物胁迫(干旱、低温)和植物生长调节剂响应(脱落酸、水杨酸)相关元件的存在。在此基础上，本研究进一步对毛竹非生物胁迫和植物生长调节剂处理的表达模式进行分析，结果表明：PeCIGRs基因的确受到了盐、干旱、水杨酸的强烈诱导，且PeCIGR1-a、PeCIGR1-b和PeCIGR2-a、PeCIGR2-b分别在脱落酸处理的不同时间点也参与应答。这表明PeCIGRs基因在非生物胁迫响应和植物生长调节剂应答中发挥着重要作用。

    4.   结论

    • 本研究从毛竹克隆得到4条CIGR基因，依次命名为PeCIGR1-a、PeCIGR1-b、PeCIGR2-a、PeCIGR2-b。4条基因序列都具有典型的GRAS结构域，属GRAS家族。组织特异性分析表明：4条基因主要在速生期的茎秆顶部中表达，表明4条基因在幼竹速生生长中参与调控。非生物胁迫和植物生长调节剂处理下PeCIGRs基因的表达模式表明：4条基因在盐、干旱、水杨酸处理早期受到强烈的诱导，在脱落酸处理中，PeCIGR1-a、PeCIGR1-b和PeCIGR2-a、PeCIGR2-b分别在不同处理时间点参与应答，表明这4条基因也参与毛竹对非生物胁迫的响应和植物生长调节剂的应答。
