We explored the polyamine (PA) metabolic pathway genes in barley (Hv) to understand plant development and stress adaptation in Gramineae crops with emphasis on leaf senescence. Bioinformatics and functional genomics tools were utilized for genome-wide identification, comprehensive gene features, evolution, development and stress effects on the expression of the polyamine metabolic pathway gene families (PMGs). Three S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylases (HvSAMDCs), two ornithine decarboxylase, one arginine decarboxylase, one spermidine synthase (HvSPDS), two spermine synthases (HvSPMSs), five copper amine oxidases (HvCuAO) and seven polyamine oxidases (HvPAOs) members of PMGs were identified and characterized in barley. All the genes except for HvCuAO3 were found distributed on all chromosomes of barley. The phylogenetic and comparative assessment revealed that PA metabolic pathway is highly conserved in plants and the prediction of nine H. vulgare miRNAs (hvu-miR) target sites, 18 protein-protein interactions and 961 putative CREs in the promoter region were discerned. Gene expression of HvSAMDC3, HvCuAO7, HvPAO4 and HvSPMS1 were apparent at every developmental stage. SPDS/SPMS gene family was found to be the most responsive to induced leaf senescence. This study provides a reference for the functional investigation of the molecular mechanism(s) that regulate polyamine in plants as a tool for future breeding decision management systems. |
