Insights into ZmWAKL in maize kernel development: genome-wide investigation and GA-mediated transcription. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explores the roles of Wall Associated Kinases (WAK) and Wall Associated Kinase Like (WAKL) families in maize development, identifying 58 WAKL genes and classifying them into three phylogenetic groups.
  • Structural and promoter analyses indicated that the expression of these genes is regulated by Gibberellic acid (GA), particularly focusing on three key genes: ZmWAKL38, ZmWAKL42, and ZmWAKL52.
  • Findings suggest that these genes work closely with GA-responsive transcription factors in maize kernels, providing new insights that could aid in maize breeding strategies.

Article Abstract

Background: The functional roles of the Wall Associated Kinase (WAK) and Wall Associated Kinase Like (WAKL) families in cellular expansion and developmental processes have been well-established. However, the molecular regulation of these kinases in maize development is limited due to the absence of comprehensive genome-wide studies.

Results: Through an in-depth analysis, we identified 58 maize WAKL genes, and classified them into three distinct phylogenetic clusters. Moreover, structural prediction analysis showed functional conservation among WAKLs across maize. Promoter analysis uncovered the existence of cis-acting elements associated with the transcriptional regulation of ZmWAKL genes by Gibberellic acid (GA). To further elucidate the role of WAKL genes in maize kernels, we focused on three highly expressed genes, viz ZmWAKL38, ZmWAKL42 and ZmWAKL52. Co-expression analyses revealed that their expression patterns exhibited a remarkable correlation with GA-responsive transcription factors (TF) TF5, TF6, and TF8, which displayed preferential expression in kernels. RT-qPCR analysis validated the upregulation of ZmWAKL38, ZmWAKL42, ZmWAKL52, TF5, TF6, and TF8 following GA treatment. Additionally, ZmWAKL52 showed significant increase of transcription in the present of TF8, with ZmWAKL52 localizing in both the plasma membrane and cell wall. TF5 positively regulated ZmWAKL38, while TF6 positively regulated ZmWAKL42.

Conclusions: Collectively, these findings provide novel insights into the characterization and regulatory mechanisms of specific ZmWAKL genes involved in maize kernel development, offering prospects for their utilization in maize breeding programs.
