| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. The AP2/ERF (APETALA2/Ethylene Response Factor) transcription factor superfamily plays crucial roles in a slew of physiological processes, such as plant growth and development, stress response, and secondary metabolites biosynthesis. Eggplant, especially the one rich with anthocyanins, is an economically important horticultural vegetable cultivated worldwide. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the putative AP2/ERF gene family members and their response to abiotic stress in eggplant. As per the phylogenetic, conserved domains, and motif analysis, 178 AP2/ERF genes in this study belonged to five subfamilies. Chromosomal distributions analysis elucidated stochastic distribution of 178 putative SmAP2/ERF genes across the twelve chromosomes of eggplant. Expression profiles of sixteen selected AP2/ERF genes response to low temperature, drought, salt, abscisic acid, and ethylene treatments were analyzed, which revealed the involvement of SmAP2/ERF genes in diverse signaling pathways. In addition, we integrated RNA-Seq data on anthocyanin biosynthesis in eggplant with yeast one-hybrid and dual-luciferase assays and identified involvement of the SmAP2/ERF genes (Smechr0902114.1 and Smechr1102075.1) in the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis. This study will enable further functional characterization of AP2/ERF genes in eggplant and extend the current understanding of the role played by AP2/ERF genes in anthocyanin biosynthesis regulation |
