Abstract:

Members of the AP2 subfamily were identified at the whole genome level in Chimonanthus praecox,and their expression patterns during flower development were analyzed. The expression profile of CpAP2-L11 was investigated,and 35S::CpAP2-L11 was introduced into Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia-0(Col-0)to analyze its function. A total of 20 AP2 subfamily transcription factors were identified,including five,six,and nine members from the euAP2,basalANT,and euANT groups,respectively,and all members of the euAP2 group have no miR172 binding sites. Synteny analysis revealed that 12 members form 16 pairs of duplicated genes,which were subject to purifying selection during the evolutionary process. Most AP2 subfamily members are highly expressed in April and May flower buds(FBs),with low expression during the entire or later stage of the chilling requirement(CR)accumulation;the expression level of CpAP2-L11 increased significantly in FBs initiating blooming when CR accumulation reached 570 CU. qRT-PCR analysis indicated CpAP2-L11 was highly expressed in the young fruit,outer tepals,and stamens,but a low expression level was detected in stems and leaves in C. praecox. The expression level of CpAP2-L11 was downregulated by high- or low-temperature. Ectopic expression of CpAP2-L11 in Arabidopsis showed earlier bolting time and the relative expression of FTSOC1LFY and AP1 genes increased significantly. CpAP2-L11 probably participates in chilling-induced dormancy breaking and blooming in winter and FBs differentiation in spring in C. praecox,also promoting flowering in ectopic overexpression Arabidopsis.
