Plant proline-rich proteins (PRPs) play critical roles in plant development and stress response. This study identified 9 PRP genes from the apple genome and conducted a comprehensive analysis, showing that MdPRPs exhibit tissue-specific expression patterns and responses to different stresses. MdPRP6 may be an important gene for heat stress tolerance in apples.
Plant proline-rich proteins (PRPs) are cell wall proteins that occur in the plant kingdom and are involved in plant development and stress response. In this study, 9 PRP genes were identified from the apple genome and a comprehensive analysis of the PRP family was conducted, including gene structures, phylogenetic analysis, chromosome mapping, and so on. The expression of MdPRPs varied among tissues and in response to different types of stresses. MdPRP4 and MdPRP7 were induced by five detected stress treatments, including heat, drought, abscisic acid, cold, and salt; the expression patterns of the others varied under different types of stress. Subcellular localization showed that MdPRPs mainly functioned in the cytoplasm, except for MdPRP1 and MdPRP5, which also functioned in the nucleus. When MdPRP6 was overexpressed in tobacco, the transgenic plants showed higher tolerance to high temperature (48 degrees C) compared with wild-type (WT) plants. The transgenic plants showed milder wilting, a lower accumulation of electrolyte leakage, MDA and ROS, and a higher level of chlorophyll and SOD and POD activity, indicating that MdPRP6 may be an important gene in apples for heat stress tolerance. Overall, this study suggested that MdPRPs are critically important for the ability of apple responses to stresses.
