Genome-Wide Analysis of the Cyclin Gene Family and Their Expression Profile in Medicago truncatula

Cyclins, together with highly conserved cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), play an important role in the process of cell cycle in plants, but less is known about the functions of cyclins in legume plants, especially Medicago truncatula. Our genome-wide analysis identified 58, 103, and 51 cyclin members in the M. truncatula, Glycine max, and Phaseolus vulgaris genomes. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that these cyclins could be classified into 10 types, and the CycB-like types (CycBL1-BL8) were the specific subgroups in M. truncatula, which was one reason for the expansion of the B-type in M. truncatula. All putative cyclin genes were mapped onto their own chromosomes of each genome, and 9 segmental duplication gene pairs involving 20 genes were identified in M. truncatula cyclins. Determined by quantitative real-time PCR, the expression profiling suggested that 57 cyclins in M. truncatula were differentially expressed in 9 different tissues, while a few genes were expressed in some specific tissues. Using the publicly available RNAseq data, the expression of Mtcyclins in the wild-type strain A17 and three nodule mutants during rhizobial infection showed that 23 cyclins were highly upregulated in the nodulation (Nod) factor-hypersensitive mutant sickle (skl) mutant after 12 h of rhizobium inoculation. Among these cyclins, six cyclin genes were also specifically expressed in roots and nodules, which might play specific roles in the various phases of Nod factor-mediated cell cycle activation and nodule development. Our results provide information about the cyclin gene family in legume plants, serving as a guide for further functional research on plant cyclins.
