Water dropwort(Liyang Baiqin,Oenanthe javanica(BI.)DC.)is an aquatic perennial plant from the Apiaceae family with abundant protein,dietary fiber,vitamins,and minerals.It usually grows in wet soils and can even grow in water.Here,whole-genome sequencing of O.javanica via HiSeq 2000 sequencing technology was reported for the first time.The genome size was 1.28 Gb,including 42,270 genes,of which 93.92%could be functionally annotated.An online database of the whole-genome sequences of water dropwort,Water dropwortDB,was established to share the results and facilitate further research on O.javanica(database homepage:http://apiaceae.njau.edu.cn/waterdropwortdb).Water dropwortDB offers whole-genome and transcriptome sequences and a Basic Local Alignment Search Tool.Comparative analysis with other species showed that the evolutionary relationship between O.javanica and Daucus carota was the closest.Twenty-five gene families of O.javanica were found to be expanded,and some genetic factors(such as genes and miRNAs)related to phenotypic and anatomic differentiation in O.javanica under different water conditions were further investigated.Two miRNA and target gene pairs(miR408 and Oja15472,miR171 and Oja47040)were remarkably regulated by water stress.The obtained reference genome of O.javanica provides important information for future work,thus making in-depth genetic breeding and gene editing possible.The present study also provides a foundation for the understanding of the O.javanica response to water stress,including morphological,anatomical,and genetic differentiation.
以2个芹菜(Apium graveolens)品种‘津南实芹’和‘美国西芹’为试验材料,分别克隆出过敏原蛋白Api g 1基因。序列分析表明,‘津南实芹’和‘美国西芹’中的过敏原蛋白基因Api g 1均含有1个480 bp的开放阅读框及1个148 bp的内含子,分别编码159个氨基酸,二者有2个核苷酸位点的差异,编码的氨基酸有1个位点差异。‘津南实芹’和‘美国西芹’的过敏原蛋白Api g 1与胡萝卜、欧芹等植物的过敏原蛋白相似度较高,在保守区域有7个甘氨酸残基,空间结构上由3个螺旋和7个折叠组成。实时定量PCR表达分析显示,该基因在主根中表达较高,茎其次,其他部位表达较弱,具有明显的组织特异性。
