MADS-box genes were identified in the genomes of Taraxacum kok-saghyz (TKS) and Taraxacum mongolicum (TM), and 11 duplications promoting gene expansion were found between the two species. TkMADS and TmMADS genes showed high conservation and good collinearity. TkMADS genes exhibited tissue-specific expression patterns, especially in flowers, indicating their conserved and dominant functions in flower development in TKS. Moreover, 25 TkMADS genes related to biomass formation and 4 TkMADS genes related to NR content were identified, providing new targets for improving NR yield in TKS.
MADS-box transcription regulators play important roles in plant growth and development. However, very few MADS-box genes have been isolated in the genus Taraxacum, which consists of more than 3000 species. To explore their functions in the promising natural rubber (NR)-producing plant Taraxacum kok-saghyz (TKS), MADS-box genes were identified in the genome of TKS and the related species Taraxacum mongolicum (TM; non-NR-producing) via genome-wide screening. In total, 66 TkMADSs and 59 TmMADSs were identified in the TKS and TM genomes, respectively. From diploid TKS to triploid TM, the total number of MADS-box genes did not increase, but expansion occurred in specific subfamilies. Between the two genomes, a total of 11 duplications, which promoted the expansion of MADS-box genes, were identified in the two species. TkMADS and TmMADS were highly conserved, and showed good collinearity. Furthermore, most TkMADS genes exhibiting tissue-specific expression patterns, especially genes associated with the ABCDE model, were preferentially expressed in the flowers, suggesting their conserved and dominant functions in flower development in TKS. Moreover, by comparing the transcriptomes of different TKS lines, we identified 25 TkMADSs related to biomass formation and 4 TkMADSs related to NR content, which represented new targets for improving the NR yield of TKS.
