摘要： Drought, salinity and cold stresses have a major impact on cotton production, thus identification and utilization of plant genes vital for plant improvement Whole-genome identification and functional characterizations of the IQ67-domain (IQD) protein family was carried out in which 148, 77, and 79 IQD genes were identified in Gossypium hirsutum, G. raimondii, and G. arboreum. The entire IQD proteins had varied physiochemical properties, however; their grand hydropathy values were negative, which demonstrated that the proteins were hydrophilic, a property common among the proteins encoded by various stresses responsive genes, such as the late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins. The IQD proteins were predicted to be majorly sublocalized in the nucleus; moreover, various cis-regulatory elements with higher role in enhancing abiotic stress tolerance were detected. RNA-seq and RT-qPCR analysis revealed two key genes, Gh_D06G0014 and Gh_A09G1608 with significantly higher upregulation across the various tissues under drought, salt and cold stress. Knockdown of the two genes negatively affected the ability of G. hirsutum to tolerate the effects of the three stress factors, being all the antioxidant assayed were significantly low concentrations compared to the oxidizing enzymes in VIGS plants under stress, furthermore, morphological and physiological traits were all negatively affected in VIGS plants. Expression levels of GhLEA2, GhCDK_F4, GPCR (TOM1) and Gh_A05G2067 (TH), the stress responsive genes were all downregulated in the VIGS plants, but significantly upregulated in WT and positively controlled plants. The results demonstrated that the IQD genes could be responsible for enhancing drought, salt and cold stress tolerance in cotton.
