Abstract:

Glucose transporter (GLUT1) maintains cell stability by maintaining glucose concentration on both sides of the cell membrane, which plays an important role in plant stress tolerance. In this study, GLUT1 gene (1 263bp) was cloned from the ‘zheng 36’, which was temporarily named ZmGLUT-1 gene. The promoter cis element analysis revealed that the gene contains various binding sites in response to stress, hormone signaling, and photo-stimulation response. InSilico analysis indicates that the protein is a hydrophobic protein with 12 transmembrane domains, mainly in the alpha helix structure, and subcellular localization on the plasma membrane. The result of qRT-PCR indicated that the gene was a constitutively expressed gene and was highly expressed in leaf tips and embryos. It was also found that the gene was down-regulated by abscisic acid (ABA) and PEG treatment, the expression after rehydration increased but could not reach normal level. Mutual protein analysis revealed that perhaps ZmGLUT-1 protein and the interaction proteins constitute a regulatory network. The above studies indicate that ZmGLUT-1 gene is associated with drought stress. These results provide information for further exploration of GLUT1 function and mechanism in plants, and for screening drought-resistant high-quality breeding germplasms.
