description | <i>Dendrobium</i> <i>catenatum</i>, a valuable Chinese herb, frequently experiences abiotic stresses, such as cold and drought, under natural conditions. Nonphosphorus glycerolipid synthase (NGLS) genes are closely linked to the homeostasis of membrane lipids under abiotic stress in plants. However, there is limited information on <i>NGLS</i> genes in <i>D</i>. <i>catenatum</i>. In this study, a total of eight <i>DcaNGLS</i> genes were identified from the <i>D</i>. <i>catenatum</i> genome; these included three <i>monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase</i> (<i>DcaMGD1</i>, <i>2</i>, <i>3</i>) genes, two <i>digalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase</i> (<i>DcaDGD1</i>, <i>2</i>) genes, and three <i>sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol synthase</i> (<i>DcaSQD1</i>, <i>2.1</i>, <i>2.2</i>) genes. The gene structures and conserved motifs in the <i>DcaNGLSs</i> showed a high conservation during their evolution. Gene expression profiling showed that the <i>DcaNGLSs</i> were highly expressed in specific tissues and during rapid growth stages. Furthermore, most <i>DcaNGLSs</i> were strongly induced by freezing and post-freezing recovery. <i>DcaMGD1</i> and <i>DcaSQDs</i> were greatly induced by salt stress in leaves, while <i>DcaDGDs</i> were primarily induced by salt stress in roots. Under drought stress, most <i>DcaNGLSs</i> were regulated by circadian rhythms, and <i>DcaSQD2</i> was closely associated with drought recovery. Transcriptome analysis also revealed that MYB might be regulated by circadian rhythm and co-expressed with <i>DcaNGLSs</i> under drought stress. These results provide insight for the further functional investigation of NGLS and the regulation of nonphosphorus glycerolipid biosynthesis in <i>Dendrobium</i>. |
