Abstract:
Poplar is one of the most widely used tree in afforestation projects. However, it is susceptible to abiotic and biotic stress. CCR4-associated factor 1 (CAF1) is a major member of CCR4-NOT, and it is mainly involved in transcriptional regulation and mRNA degradation in eukaryotes. However, there are no studies on the molecular phylogeny and expression of the CAF1 gene in poplar. In this study, a total of 19 PtCAF1 genes were identified in the Populus trichocarpa genome. Phylogenetic analysis of the PtCAF1 gene family was performed with two closely related species (Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa) to investigate the evolution of the PtCAF1 gene. The tissue expression of the PtCAF1 gene showed that 19 PtCAF1 genes were present in different tissues of poplar. Additionally, the analysis of the expression of the PtCAF1 gene showed that the CAF1 family was up-regulated to various degrees under biotic and abiotic stresses and participated in the poplar stress response. The results of our study provide a deeper understanding of the structure and function of the PtCAF1 gene and may contribute to our understanding of the molecular basis of stress tolerance in poplar.
