Abstract:
Tea (Camellia sinensis; CS) is one of the world's most popular aromatic and non-alcoholic beverages, with great economic, health, & cultural importance. It is one of the major evergreen commodities grown in over 50 nations across the world. Tea leaves contain a variety of bioactive substances, particularly caffeine, theophylline, catechins, and flavonoids, which have been proven to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities. Nowadays, the major concern is that the quality of tea leaves is getting deteriorated due to various environmental stresses. Fascinatingly, a transcription factor named as ‘WRKY’ has been found to play a key role in the development and growth of plants in response to these stresses. However, research on the role of WRKY in tea plants is limited. Therefore, we focused on the identification and characterization of this transcription factor (CsWRKY) in Tea plants through bioinformatics analyses. Our in silico study has found a total of 92 WRKY transcription factors. Out of the 46 were found to be basic in nature, 2 were neutral, and 44 were acidic in nature. As per our chromosomal distribution study, the CsWRKY genes were mostly located at chromosome numbers 1 to 10, 12, and 13. The chromosome number 1 was found to contain the maximum number of CsWRKY genes and the least were present on Chr. 12 and 13. Further, our phylogenetic study found that most of the CsWRKY genes were orthologous to AtWRKY (Arabidopsis thaliana). Our expression analysis reported that most of these genes are expressed in bud, flower, leaf, ovary, root, seed, and shoot of the Tea plant. This study also revealed the highly conserved motifs and structures of CsWRKY. Considering together, this study provides in-depth information regarding the CsWRKY gene family, and further research is required to validate the stress-tolerant activity of CsWRKY.
