摘要:

小分子热激蛋白20(HSP20)在植物高温逆境应答与生长发育调控中发挥关键作用。为解析草莓HSP20基因家族的高温响应机制及其对果实成熟的调控功能,本研究中以二倍体森林草莓(Fragaria vesca)为材料,开展了FvHSP20基因家族全基因组鉴定,系统分析其基因结构、系统发育、染色体定位与顺式作用元件,并结合转录组与qRT-PCR技术解析该基因家族在森林草莓和栽培草莓(Fragaria × ananassa)不同果实发育阶段及高温胁迫下的表达模式,同时在栽培草莓中验证关键基因的功能。结果表明:在森林草莓基因组中共鉴定出33个FvHSP20家族成员,其编码蛋白氨基酸数量为78 ~ 399,编码蛋白的理化性质稳定,亚细胞定位于细胞质、叶绿体、线粒体等细胞器,存在明显区室化特征。系统进化分析结果显示,家族基因可划分为13个亚族,并新命名其中一支为CXⅡ亚族;草莓中缺失内质网(ER)亚族成员,呈现物种进化特异性。33个基因不均匀分布于7条染色体,多数基因结构简单,仅含0 ~ 1个内含子。各基因启动子均含胁迫与激素响应元件,以光响应、脱落酸与茉莉酸甲酯调控相关元件最为丰富。FvHSP20/FaHSP20表达具有果实发育阶段特异性,白果期对高温胁迫敏感,HSP20-13/14/20等基因在高温处理后显著上调;不同栽培品种的响应模式存在差异,耐热品种‘香野’转录表达更平稳。瞬时过表达试验证实,FaHSP20-13在常温条件下能促进草莓果实提前着色、增强糖分积累;高温环境下该基因维持脱落酸信号稳态,缓解高温对果实发育的抑制,兼具促成熟与耐热的功能。本研究中明确了草莓HSP20家族的分子特征与高温应答特点,挖掘出关键耐热与成熟调控候选基因,可为草莓耐高温分子育种和品质改良提供理论依据与基因资源。

Abstract:

Small heat shock protein 20(HSP20)are pivotal regulators involved in plant high-temperature stress response as well as growth and development. To dissect the high-temperature response mechanism of the strawberry HSP20 gene family and its regulatory function in fruit ripening,diploid woodland strawberry(Fragaria vesca)was used as material in this study. A genome-wide identification of the FvHSP20 gene family was carried out using bioinformatics methods,and the gene structure,phylogeny,chromosomal localization,and cis-acting elements were systematically analyzed. Furthermore,combined with transcriptome and qRT-PCR technologies,the expression patterns of this family at different fruit developmental stages and under high-temperature stress in both woodland strawberry and cultivated strawberry(Fragaria × ananassa)were resolved,and the biological function of key gene was further validated in cultivated strawberry. The results showed that a total of 33 FvHSP20 genes were identified from the F. vesca genome. The encoded HSP20 proteins contained 78 to 399 amino acids with stable physicochemical properties,and were targeted to cytoplasm,chloroplasts,mitochondria and other organelles,exhibiting obvious subcellular compartmentalization. Phylogenetic analysis categorized these genes into 13 subfamilies,among which a novel clade designated CXⅡ subfamily was newly classified in this study. Notably,strawberry HSP20 family lacked endoplasmic reticulum subfamily members,reflecting unique evolutionary characteristics of this species. The 33 FvHSP20 genes were unevenly mapped onto seven strawberry chromosomes,most family members possessed compact gene structures with zero or one intron. Promoter sequence of various genes analysis revealed numerous stress-responsive and hormone-responsive cis-elements,among which light-responsive,abscisic acid(ABA)-responsive and methyl jasmonate(MeJA)-responsive elements were the most abundant. Transcriptomic results indicated that both FvHSP20 and FaHSP20 genes displayed fruit developmental stage-specific expression patterns. Fruits at the white stage were most susceptible to high-temperature stress,and core genes including HSP20-13HSP20-14 and HSP20-20 were significantly upregulated upon heat treatment. Distinct transcriptional responses to heat stress were detected between two cultivated strawberry cultivars:the heat-tolerant cultivar‘Kaorino’exhibited milder and more stable gene expression fluctuations. Transient overexpression assays verified that FaHSP20-13 accelerated fruit coloration,enhanced sugar enrichment under normal temperature conditions. Furthermore,FaHSP20-13 maintained ABA signaling homeostasis to relieve heat-induced growth inhibition in strawberry fruits,performing dual functions in promoting maturation and heat resistance. In this study,the basic characteristics and high-temperature response patterns of the strawberry HSP20 family were clarified,and key candidate genes for heat tolerance and ripening regulation were identified,which provided theoretical basis and genetic resources for molecular breeding of heat tolerance and high-quality improvement in strawberry.
