| Résumé: | Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Paeonia ostii var. lishizhenii has emerged as a valuable oil-producing crop with splendid characteristic of high α-linolenic acid (C18:3, ALA) content in its seed oil for healthy food supplement, but the molecular mechanism for seed ALA accumulation remains enigmatic. In our previous report, a PoSAD gene encoding stearoyl-ACP desaturase had been cloned and functional charactered for the first desaturation procedure involved in ALA biosynthesis pathway in P. ostii var. lishizhenii endosperms, while other participants have not been identified to date. In this study, full-length cDNAs of PoFAD2 (1489 bp), PoFAD6 (1638 bp), and PoFAD3 (1709 bp) were isolated based on our recent transcriptome sequencing data. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that the PoFADs were closest to their counterparts from Paeoniaceae species P. ludlowii, P. rockii, and P. suffruticosa in phylogenetic tree, which shared highly conserved histidine boxes (HXXXH, HXXHH, and HXXHH), exhibiting typical characters of membrane-bound desaturases in higher plants. Additionally, the PoFAD2 and PoFAD3 were specifically expressed and highly associated with LA and ALA accumulation in developing endosperms, whereas PoFAD6 expression has no significantly difference during whole seed developing stages. The catalytic function of these PoFADs were further analyzed by heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Arabidopsis thaliana. The results showed that PoFAD2 and PoFAD6 could catalyze linoleic acid (C18:2) synthesis, while PoFAD3 had ability to produce ALA. This study functional identified three PoFAD genes, which indicates their critical roles in ALA biosynthesis pathway in P. ostii var. lishizhenii, and is of great theoretical and practical meaning on breeding and cultivating new tree peony varieties to promote human health and nutrition supplement |
