Genome-wide identification of the maize 2OGD superfamily genes and their response to Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium graminearum

In maize, eat rot and stalk rot caused by Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium graminearum lead to contamination of moldy grains to produce mycotoxins. Identification of resistance genes against these pathogens for maize breeding is an effective way for disease control. Several 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (2OGD) proteins have been found to confer resistance to different pathogens in diverse plant species. However, little is known about the 2OGD superfamily in maize. Here, we identified 103 putative 2OGD genes in maize from a genome-wide analysis, and divided them into three classes - DOXA, DOXB, and DOXC. We further comprehensively investigated their gene structure, chromosome distribution, phylogenetic tree, gene-function enrichment, and expression profiles among different tissues. The genes encoding three 2OGD proteins, ACO, F3H, and NCS involved in ethylene biosynthesis, flavonoids biosynthesis, and alkaloids biosynthesis pathways, respectively, were identified to be induced by F. verticillioides and F. graminearum. The promoters of the three genes contain the binding sites for the transcription factor ZmDOF and ZmHSF, which are also induced by the two pathogens. The results imply that the three 2OGDs and the two transcription factors might be involved in the resistance to the two pathogens. This study provided a comprehensive understanding of the 2OGD superfamily in maize and laid the foundation for the further functional analysis of their roles in maize resistance to eat rot and stalk rot.
