摘要
Plant protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) plays vital roles in responding to various stresses, stimulating growth factors, phytohormones, and metabolic activities in many important plant species. However, the PP2C gene family has not been investigated in the economically valuable plant species sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). This study used comprehensive bioinformatics tools to identify and characterize the PP2C gene family members in the sunflower genome (H. annuus r1.2). Additionally, we analyzed the expression profiles of these genes using RNA-seq data under four different stress conditions in both leaf and root tissues. A total of 121 PP2C genes were identified in the sunflower genome distributed unevenly across the 17 chromosomes, all containing the Type-2C phosphatase domain. HanPP2C genes are divided into 15 subgroups (A-L) based on phylogenetic tree analysis. Analyses of conserved domains, gene structures, and motifs revealed higher structural and functional similarities within various subgroups. Gene duplication and collinearity analysis showed that among the 53 HanPP2C gene pairs, 48 demonstrated segmental duplications under strong purifying selection pressure, with only five gene pairs showing tandem duplications. The abundant segmental duplication was observed compared to tandem duplication, which was the major factor underlying the dispersion of the PP2C gene family in sunflowers. Most HanPP2C proteins were localized in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and chloroplast. Among the 121 HanPP2C genes, we identified 71 miRNAs targeting 86 HanPP2C genes involved in plant developmental processes and response to abiotic stresses. By analyzing cis-elements, we identified 63 cis-regulatory elements in the promoter regions of HanPP2C genes associated with light responsiveness, tissue-specificity, phytohormone, and stress responses. Based on RNA-seq data from two sunflower tissues (leaf and root), 47 HanPP2C genes exhibited varying expression levels in leaf tissue, while 49 HanPP2C genes showed differential expression patterns in root tissue across all stress conditions. Transcriptome profiling revealed that nine HanPP2C genes (HanPP2C12, HanPP2C36, HanPP2C38, HanPP2C47, HanPP2C48, HanPP2C53, HanPP2C54, HanPP2C59, and HanPP2C73) exhibited higher expression in leaf tissue, and five HanPP2C genes (HanPP2C13, HanPP2C47, HanPP2C48, HanPP2C54, and HanPP2C95) showed enhanced expression in root tissue in response to the four stress treatments, compared to the control conditions. These results suggest that these HanPP2C genes may be potential candidates for conferring tolerance to multiple stresses and further detailed characterization to elucidate their functions. From these candidates, 3D structures were predicted for six HanPP2C proteins (HanPP2C47, HanPP2C48, HanPP2C53, HanPP2C54, HanPP2C59, and HanPP2C73), which provided satisfactory models. Our findings provide valuable insights into the PP2C gene family in the sunflower genome, which could play a crucial role in responding to various stresses. This information can be exploited in sunflower breeding programs to develop improved cultivars with increased abiotic stress tolerance.
