ABSTRACT
Hemerocallis citrina Baroni (H. citrina) is an important specialty vegetable that is not only edible and medicinal but also has ornamental value. However, much remains unknown about the regulatory mechanisms associated with the growth, development, and flowering rhythm of this plant. CO, as a core regulatory factor in the photoperiod pathway, coordinates light and circadian clock inputs to transmit flowering signals. We identified 18 COL genes (HcCOL1-HcCOL18) in the H. citrina cultivar 'Mengzihua' and studied their chromosomal distribution, phylogenetic relationships, gene and protein structures, collinearity, and expression levels in the floral organs at four developmental stages. The results indicate that these genes can be classified into three groups based on phylogenetic analysis. The major expansion of the HcCOL gene family occurred via segmental duplication, and the Ka/Ks ratio indicated that the COL genes of Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa, Phalaenopsis equestris, and H. citrina were under purifying selection. Many cis-elements, including light response elements, abiotic stress elements, and plant hormone-inducible elements, were distributed in the promoter sequences of the HcCOL genes. Expression analysis of HcCOL genes at four floral developmental stages revealed that most of the HcCOL genes were expressed in floral organs and might be involved in the growth, development, and senescence of the floral organs of H. citrina. This study lays a foundation for the further elucidation of the function of the HcCOL gene in H. citrina and provides a theoretical basis for the molecular design breeding of H. citrina.
