Resumo
A cana-de-açúcar tem adquirido crescente importância no cenário mundial, não somente pela produção do açúcar, mas devido ao grande potencial como cultura bioenergética, sendo utilizada na produção do etanol, uma fonte energética alternativa, ecologicamente limpa e renovável e como co-geradora de energia elétrica através da queima do bagaço. O Brasil destaca-se mundialmente como o maior produtor da cultura e exportador de açúcar e etanol. Porém, esta cultura está sujeita a diferentes estresses ambientais, dentre os quais, a disponibilidade de água representa o principal fator que influencia o crescimento e o desenvolvimento vegetal e, conseqüentemente, a produtividade. Dessa forma, para a identificação dos possíveis genes envolvidos nas respostas de tolerância à seca em cana-de-açúcar, realizou-se, por meio da técnica de cDNA-AFLP, a análise comparativa do perfil de transcritos de duas cultivares tolerantes, SP83-5073 e RB867515 com o perfil de expressão da cultivar sensível à seca, SP86-155, quando submetidas a suspensão da rega por 1, 3, 5 e 10 dias. Com 14 combinações de primers seletivos EcoRI/MseI, foram detectados no gel de poliacrilamida, 1.316 fragmentos derivados de transcritos (FDTs) que foram diferencialmente expressos entre as cultivares tolerantes e a sensível, submetidas ao estresse hídrico (1, 3, 5 e 10 dias). Destes, 630 FDTs foram identificados na cultivar SP83-5073 e 686 FDTs na cultivar RB867515. A análise comparativa do perfil de expressão associado ao genótipo da cana-de-açúcar revelou fragmentos de transcritos similares a genes envolvidos em eventos moleculares relacionados às respostas das plantas a diferentes estresses, inclusive ao causado pela seca. Estes genes atuam na sinalização hormonal, regulação da transcrição gênica, senescência, transposição de DNA...
The sugarcane has increased importance in the world not only for sugar production, but also due to the great potential as a generator energy because ethanol production, it is a renewable, alternative energy source, ecologically clean and as energy cogeneration through burning of bagasse. Brazil is the world’s largest crop producer and exporter of sugar and ethanol. However, this crop is exposed to different kinds of stress, among which; the availability of water is noticeable as the main factor that negatively influences the vegetable growth and, therefore, the productivity. In order to identify the possible genes involved in the responses to drought tolerance in sugarcane crops, the comparative analysis of transcripts profile from two tolerant cultivars, SP83-5073, RB867515 and the sensitive cultivar SP86-5073, after has been submitted to the interruption of irrigation for 1, 3, 5 and 10 days were performed using the cDNA-AFLP technique. With 14 combinations of EcoRI/MseI selective primers, there was detected on a polyacrylamide gel, 1,316 transcript-derived fragments (TDFs) differently expressed between tolerant and sensitive cultivars submitted to water deficit (1, 3, 5 and 10 days). From these, 630 TDFs were identified on the cultivar SP83-5073 and 686 TDFs corresponded to the cultivar RB867515. The comparative analysis of genotype dependent gene expression profile in sugarcane revealed fragments similarity with genes involved in many molecular events related to the responses of plants to different stresses, including those caused by drought. These genes work in hormonal signaling, regulation of gene transcription, senescence, DNA transposition, transport of amino acids, respiration and metabolism of carbohydrates. However, nine TDFs possibly represent still unknown genes, which may be developing important roles on the responses to drought and contributing to the trait of tolerance
