Abstract
Actin depolymerising factor (ADF) is an actin binding protein that is ubiquitous in animal and plant cells. It plays an important role in plant growth and development, as well as resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. The research of plant ADF family has been restricted to Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. and some herb crops, but no woody cash crops have been reported to date. All members of the Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. ADF (CcADF) family were identified from the pigeon pea genome, and distributed among the four subfamilies by phylogenetic analysis. CcADFs were relatively conservative in gene structure evolution, protein structure and functional expression, and different CcADFs showed specific expression patterns under different treatments. The expression characteristics of several key CcADFs were revealed by analysing the stress response pattern of CcADFs and the time series RNA-seq of aluminium stress. Among them, CcADF9 in the first subgroup specifically responded to aluminium stress in the roots; CcADF3 in the second subgroup intensively responded to fungal infection in the leaves; and CcADF2 in the fourth subgroup positively responded to various stress treatments in different tissues. This study extended the relationship between plant ADF family and aluminium tolerance, as well as adding to the understanding of CcADF family in woody crops.
Keywords: actin depolymerising factor, Cajanus cajan, gene expression pattern, gene structure, RNA-seq, stress treatment.
