Abstract:
Hemerocallis fulva is a well-known perennial flower in Chinese traditional flowers, which is widely used in family gardening, landscaping and other fields. Sugar is the main product of photosynthesis and the main energy source in plants.
SWEET protein is a type of glycoefflux transporter found in recent years, which is involved in plant multiple physiological processes,including reproductive development, senescence and abiotic stress responses. In this study,
Hemerocallis fulva SWEET2
a gene was cloned from
Hemerocallis fulva leaves by Quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR), named
HfSWEET2
a (GenBank accession No. MT379659). Sequence analysis, homologous protein sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis were carried out, and its expression at different temperatures was studied. The results of sequence analysis showed that
HfSWEET2
a gene contain a 690 bp ORF (open reading frame), encoding 229 amino acid residues. The results of physicochemical analysis showed that the molecular weight of HfSWEET2a is 25.531 kDa and the isoelectric point is 9.16. Subcellular localization showed that it is located in the Cell Membrane.
HfSWEET2
a has 7 typical transmembrane structures. The phylogenetic analysis of
HfSWEET2
a indicated that it has the closest relationship with asparagus, and pineapple was the second, with the similarity of 75.58% and 74.6%, respectively. The expression of
HfSWEET2
a gene was the highest at 0℃, the relative expression at 0℃ was 3.3 times of that at 15℃, 1.7 times of that at 10℃ and 3.7 times of that at 5℃. According to the research results, it was speculated that the
HfSWEET2
a gene of
Hemerocallis fulva participated in the response to low temperature stress.
