Abstract:

The Gibberellic Acid-Stimulated in Arabidopsis (GASA) gene family is a specific transcription factor in the plant that plays an important role in the regulation of plant growth and development. However,genome-wide analysis of the GASA gene family has not been reported in wheat. To further explore the function of the wheat GASA gene, 35 TaGASA genes, named TaGASAs, were obtained by analyzing the latest genomic data of wheat and were ranked according to the chromosome number as TaGASA1-TaGASA35. Combined with the published genome data of cultivar Chinese Spring, genes structure, chromosome distribution, the conserved domain of proteins, phylogenetic trees and gene expression profiles of the wheat cultivars were analyzed using bioinformatics methods. The results showed that 35 wheat TaGASA genes were distributed on the remaining 17 chromosomes except for 3A, 4A, 3B and 3D chromosomes. The genes encoded 78-264 amino acids in length and the number of gene exons was from 2 to 7. The results of tandem repeat analysis showed that fragment replication and tandem repeats were the main patterns of gene expansion in the wheat TaGASA family. The phylogenetic tree of wheat TaGASA proteins and the seven crops GASA proteins showed that GASA genes were divided into four categories, and the structure of the same class was similar. The 35 TaGASA genes family in wheat contain 10 motifs, and it is speculated that the wheat TaGASA gene family should contain motif1, motif2 and motif3. 35 TaGASA genes were all detected in 13 tissues and organs, and the expression of TaGASA genes in different tissues were significantly different.

Key words: Wheat, GASA, Bioinformatics, Phylogenetic tree, Expression profiling
