Abstract:

To identify vernalization-related histone deacetylases (HDACs) in sugar beet genome, HMMsearch and Blastp were employed to identify the members of BvHDACs gene family, and iqtree program was used to construct the maximum-likelihood phylogenies. The chromosome location and gene structure of BvHDACs were analyzed by TBtools. The expression pattern of BvHDACs under vernalization was measured by RNA-seq. The results showed that there were 16 BvHDACs located on 5 chromosomes. BvHDACs were classified into 3 subfamilies, namely RPD3/HDA1, SIR2 and HD2, and members from the same subfamily had similar functional domain. According to RNA-seq, the expression of several genes from RPD3/HDA1, SIR2 and HD2 significantly changed after vernalization. Especially, the expression of BvHDT1 and BvHDT2 were correlated with changes of bolting-related phenotype. The protein-protein interaction prediction showed that BvHDT1 and BvHDT2 possibly interacted with BvFLD, BvJMJ11 and BvJMJ12, which were involved in flowering and bolting. In summary, it is hypothesized that BvHDT1 and BvHDT2 may be involved in vernalization of sugar beet.
