Systematic Analysis of Dof Gene Family in Prunus persica Unveils Candidate Regulators for Enhancing Cold Tolerance
2025
Overview
Late-spring frost events severely damage low-chill peach blossoms, causing significant yield losses. Although 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) enhances cold tolerance through the PpC3H37-PpWRKY18 module, the regulatory mechanism of ALA on PpC3H37 remains to be elucidated. Using yeast one-hybrid screening with the PpC3H37 promoter as bait, we identified PpDof9 as a key interacting transcription factor. A genome-wide analysis revealed 25 PpDof genes in peaches (Prunus persica). These genes exhibited variable physicochemical properties, with most proteins predicted as nuclear-localized. Subcellular localization experiments in tobacco revealed that PpDof9 was localized to the nucleus, consistent with predictions. A synteny analysis indicated nine segmental duplication pairs and tandem duplications on chromosomes 5 and 6, suggesting duplication events drove family expansion. A conserved motif analysis confirmed universal presence of the Dof domain (Motif 1). Promoter cis-element screening identified low-temperature responsive (LTR) elements in 12 PpDofs, including PpDof1, PpDof8, PpDof9, and PpDof25. The quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) results showed that PpDof1, PpDof8, PpDof9, PpDof15, PpDof16, and PpDof25 were significantly upregulated under low-temperature stress, and this upregulation was further enhanced by ALA pretreatment. Our findings demonstrate ALA-mediated modulation of specific PpDof TFs in cold response and provide candidates (PpDof1, PpDof9, PpDof8, PpDof25) for enhancing floral frost tolerance in peaches.
