Abstract:

To further study the function of BvGSTU9 (LOC104894060) during the heavy metal stress in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), ‘780016B/12You’ was chosen as the plant material in this study to forecast and analyze the sequence characteristics, structure and function of the gene. In addition, quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the changes of expression under different concentrations of cadmium stress. The results show that the whole length of BvGSTU9 gene is 925 bp, and the open reading frame is 675 bp, encoding an unstable extracellular protein composed of 224 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of BvGSTU9 is similar to that of spinach and quinoa, and it is almost consistent with the phylogenetic evolution tree analysis. The prediction of the secondary structure and the tertiary structure indicate that the gene is mainly composed of α-Spiral, β-Folding, extending chain and irregular curling. qRT-PCR analysis show that BvGSTU9 gene is induced in different degrees by different concentrations of cadmium stress. Therefore, it can be inferred that the BvGSTU9 gene in sugar beet has a certain response relationship with cadmium stress both in structure and function. The results also provide a certain reference basis for the study on the mechanism of heavy metal cadmium tolerance of sugar beet.
