Abstract:

The aims are to study the gene structure and expression patterns of folate transport family members, and establish the foundation for exploring the molecular mechanism of folate transport in foxtail millet. Bioinformatics analysis of MRP family members was carried out with Phytozome, Clustal X, MEGA7.0 and other online tools and software. Based on the transcriptome sequencing data of foxtail millet, the expression patterns of foxtail millet MRP family members were analyzed. The results show that there are 21 foxtail millet MRP protein family members, most of which are distributed on chromosome 7, with 8 genes; 17 MRP proteins are alkaline and 4 proteins are acidic, and they are all hydrophilic proteins according to the hydrophobic value. The expression of SiMRP7 and SiMRP12 genes and the total folate content in foxtail millet tissue have a synergistic decrease trend, and these two proteins might play a regulatory role in the accumulation in foxtail millet. This study further identifies folate transport-related proteins, and could provide a theoretical basis for future research on folate metabolism pathway and gene mining.
