AbstractWRKY proteins are members of a transcription factor family with Zinc-finger structure in higher plant, which participate in various physiological processes and responses to multiple stresses. In this study we isolated a 1064 bp promoter sequence of GhWRKY64 (KF031101) from Gossypium hirsutum acc. TM-1 and analyzed its regulatory elements and functional characterization. Bioinformatics analysis revealed 18 putative tissue-specific or stress-induced regulatory motifs corresponding to known cis-elements in eukaryotic genes, including six ROOTMOTIFTAPOX1 of root-specific regulatory elements, two W-boxes, four CACTFTPPCA1 mesophyll-specific regulatory elements, four OSE2ROOTNODULE of pathogen-induced elements, and two GTIGMSCAM4 of salt-induced regulatory elements. The vector pBIW64:GUS was constructed by cloning the p GhWRKY64promoter region into a pBI121 plasmid upstream of the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene. Twelve transgenic tobacco plants were obtained by means of Agrobacterium-mediated leaf-disc transformation. Transgenic line pBIW64-5 with the highest GUS expression was selected for tissue-specific expression and induced-expression analyses. Histochemical analyses indicated that the full-length promoter directed efficient expressions of the reporter gene in root and leaf of pBIW64-5 seedlings, and root, leaf and petiole of pBIW64-5 plants at flowering stage, especially in root and root tip; however, no GUS activity was detected in stem and flower in the transgenic tobacco plants. The pBIW64-5 seedlings were also inoculated with Verticillium dahliae for 48 hours and the GUS activities in root and leaf showed the increased expressions compared to that of the untreated transgenic tobacco plants. Our results suggest that the upstream region of GhWRKY64 with 1064 bp contains cis-elements of the promoter, and is also a pathogen-induced promoter. This promoter is an efficient regulatory element in cotton transgenic research aiming at resistance to Verticillium dahliae.
