喜盐鸢尾(Iris halophila Pall.)及其变种蓝花喜盐鸢尾(I.halophila Pall.var.sogdiana(Bung)Grubov)因耐盐碱及其多种花色而具有盐碱地园艺开发价值。本文根据喜盐鸢尾内轮花被转录组测序结果,利用基因特异性引物从这2种植物中分别克隆了编码查尔酮合成酶(CHS)、查尔酮异构酶(CHI)、类黄酮-3',5'-羟基化酶类(F3'5'H-like)等基因的部分片段,并对它们在内轮花被中的表达水平进行实时定量PCR分析。序列分析结果确认在喜盐鸢尾中所克隆的CHS(311 bp)、CHI(457 bp)、F3'5'H-like(496 bp)3个基因(部分)未见文献报道与NCBI等数据库记录。其中F3'5'H-like基因与经典的属于细胞色素P450CYP75A亚家族的F3'5'H不同,而与万带兰的F3'5'H-like同属于CYP76AB亚家族,为一类新的蓝花相关基因。实时定量PCR表达分析结果表明,与黄花的喜盐鸢尾相比,蓝花喜盐鸢尾中CHS与F3'5'H-like显著上调表达,可能是其花色不同于喜盐鸢尾的主要原因。
Iris halophila Pall. and its variety I. halophila Pall. var. sogdiana (Bung)Grubov are potential hor- ticultural plants for arid and saline-alkali land because of their drought and salt tolerant characteristics and various flower color. In order to elucidate the mechanism of different pigmentation in these two species, we cloned 3 partial segments of key genes relating to anthocyanin biosynthesis, named chalcone synthase ( CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI) and flavonoid-3', 5'-hydroxylase like (F3'5'H-like), from perianth of young flowers of these two Iris plants. Retro-transcription PCR method were employed in cloning and gene-specific primers were designed based on a transcriptome sequencing. The expression of these 3 genes were characterized by a real-time PCR assay. Se- quence analysis showed that these 3 genes were first reported in I. halophila Pall.. Among these genes, F3'5'H- like was different from the classical F3'5'H which belonged to CYP75A subfamily of cytochrome P450 superfami- ly,it was a homolog of Vanda coerulea Griff. ex Lindl. F3'5' H-like gene which belonged to a new subfamily CYP76AB, a novel type of blue flower related genes. Expression analysis indicated that compared with in the yellow flowered I. halophila Pall. , CHS and F3'5'H-like were up-regulated in I. halophila Pall. var. sogdiana (Bung) Grubov and responsible for its blue-violet flowers.
