Abstract:

In order to analyze the regulatory role of BvMYB44 of energy beet under heavy metal stress, this study used ‘780016B/12You’ as material to study the expression pattern of BvMYB44 in response to cadmium stress by qRT-PCR, and analyzed its function by bioinformatics. The results show that the total length of cDNA of BvMYB44 gene is 942 bp, encoding 313 amino acids, the molecular weight of the protein is 33935.01 Da, and the theoretical isoelectric point is 7.57. BvMYB44 is an unstable alkaline hydrophilic protein with 39 phosphorylation sites located in the nucleus and only one exon. BvMYB44 is a member of the R2R3-MYB subfamily and is most closely related to CqMYB44-like from Chenopodium quinoa and SoMYB44-like from Spinacia oleracea. Several cis-acting elements related to abiotic stress are predicted in the promoter region of this gene, which is speculated to be involved in a variety of abiotic stress responses. The qRT-PCR shows that BvMYB44 has different levels of significantly up-regulated expression in energy beet leaves and roots under 0.5 mmol/L cadmium stress. Therefore, it can be inferred that BvMYB44 has a certain response relationship with cadmium stress. This study will provide candidate genes and a theoretical basis for germplasm innovation of heavy metal-resistant energy beet and expansion of plant remediation.
