Abstract:

Stearyl-ACP desaturase is a key enzyme to form unsaturated fatty acids. A total of 11 full-length SbSADs genes were identified by Blastp from the NCBI and Phytozome database using the SbSADs genes as queries. The protein properties, phylogenetics, tissue-specific expression patterns of SbSADs, gene structure, conserved motifs, chromosome mapping, secondary and tertiary structures, cis-elements in promoter regions and their expression level at various seed development stages were analyzed. The results showed that open reading frame of SbSADs genes was among 1 134-1 290bp, the number of amino acids of their encoded proteins ranged from 377 to 449, the maximum molecular weight was 48.0kDa and the minimum was 39.8kDa, and the isoelectric point was 5.26-8.76. According to phylogenetic analysis, SbSADs were divided into 2 sub-groups, and the expression level of sub-group I was higher in different tissues. SbSADs genes were unequally mapped on 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 10 chromosomes of sorghum. The prediction of secondary structure showed that SbSADs proteins was mainly composed of α-helix and irregular coil, while the tertiary structures prediction showed that except SbSAD8, the rest of SbSADs proteins were highly similar. In the SbSADs gene family, there were a number of cis-elements related to low temperature stress. The expression of SbSAD5 gene was higher at 5 and 10d of seed development.
