摘要
Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs), important sensors of calcium signals, play an essential role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Although the CPK gene family has been characterized in many plants, the functions of the CPK gene family in wheat, including their relationship to seed dormancy and germination, remain unclear. In this study, we identified 84 TaCPK genes in wheat (TaCPK1-84). According to their phylogenetic relationship, they were divided into four groups (I-IV). TaCPK genes in the same group were found to have similar gene structures and motifs. Chromosomal localization indicated that TaCPK genes were unevenly distributed across 21 wheat chromosomes. TaCPK gene expansion occurred through segmental duplication events and underwent strong negative selection. A large number of cis-regulatory elements related to light response, phytohormone response, and abiotic stress response were identified in the upstream promoter sequences of TaCPK genes. TaCPK gene expression was found to be tissue- and growth-stage-diverse. Analysis of the expression patterns of several wheat varieties with contrasting seed dormancy and germination phenotypes resulted in the identification of 11 candidate genes (TaCPK38/-40/-43/-47/-50/-60/-67/-70/-75/-78/-80) which are likely associated with seed dormancy and germination. The ectopic expression of TaCPK40 in Arabidopsis promoted seed germination and reduced abscisic acid (ABA) sensitivity during germination, indicating that TaCPK40 negatively regulates seed dormancy and positively regulates seed germination. These findings advance our understanding of the multifaceted functions of CPK genes in seed dormancy and germination, and provide potential candidate genes for controlling wheat seed dormancy and germination.
