Abstract:

Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitor(BBTI) is a widely distributed trypsin inhibitor in plants, which plays an important role in the process of plant resistance to the stresses. In this study, 11 rice BBTIs gene family members were identified at the genome level by bioinformatics methods, among which 10 OsBBTI genes were clustered at the front of chromosome 1, and OsBBTI13 gene was located on chromosome 3. OsBBTIs protein had N-terminal signal peptide and contained 1-3 typical conserved Bowman-Birk type domains. The promoter region of OsBBTIs gene had response elements related to plant hormones jasmonic acid, abscisic acid and the abiotic stresses. Transcriptome data showed that all OsBBTIs gene can be induced by jasmonic acid, and most OsBBTI genes can be expressed in response to the abiotic stresses. qRT-PCR was used to analyze the expression level of OsBBTIs gene under NaHCO3 and NaCl stresses, the results showed that the expression level of OsBBTIs gene increased under the saline-alkali stresses. This study laid a foundation for further study on the biological function of OsBBTIs proteins in abiotic stress.
