Identification, characterization and expression profiles of Fusarium udum stress-responsive WRKY transcription factors in Cajanus cajan under the influence of NaCl stress and Pseudomonas fluorescens OKC
The WRKY gene family has never been identified in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan). Therefore, objective of the present study was to identify the WRKY gene family in pigeonpea and characterize the Fusarium udum stress-responsive WRKY genes under normal, NaCl-stressed and Pseudomonas fluorescens OKC (a plant growth-promoting bacterial strain) treated conditions. The aim was to characterize the Fusarium udum stress-responsive WRKY genes under some commonly occurring field conditions. We identified 97 genes in the WRKY family of pigeonpea, using computational prediction method. The gene family was then classified into three groups through phylogenetic analysis of the homologous genes from the representative plant species. Among the 97 identified WRKY genes 35 were further classified as pathogen stress responsive genes. Functional validation of the 35 WRKY genes was done through generating transcriptional profiles of the genes from root tissues of pigeonpea plants under the influence of P. fluorescens OKC after 24 h of stress application (biotic: Fusarium udum, abiotic: NaCl). The entire experiment was conducted in two pigeonpea cultivars Asha (resistant to F. udum) and Bahar (susceptible to F. udum) and the results were concluded on the basis of transcriptional regulation of the WRKY genes in both the pigeonpea cultivars. The results revealed that among the 35 tentatively identified biotic stress responsive CcWRKY genes, 26 were highly F. udum responsive, 17 were better NaCl responsive compared to F. udum and 11 were dual responsive to both F. udum and NaCl. Application of OKC was able to enhance transcript accumulation of the individual CcWRKY genes to both the stresses when applied individually but not in combined challenge of the two stresses. The results thus indicated that CcWRKY genes play a vital role in the defense signaling against F. udum and some of the F. udum responsive CcWRKYs (at least 11 in pigeonpea) are also responsive to abiotic stresses such as NaCl. Further, plant beneficial microbes such as P. fluorescens OKC also help pegionpea to defend itself against the two stresses (F. udum and NaCl) through enhanced expression of the stress responsive CcWRKY genes when the stresses are applied individually.
