摘要： Cold stress has been found to have a negative impact on cotton growth and annual production. To address this issue, the utilization of cold-tolerant gene resources from wild species of Gossypium is crucial for genetic improvements in cultivated cotton. ICE (inducer of CBF expression) are the key regulators of cold tolerance in plants, however, there is relatively little information on ICE genes in cotton. Herein, we performed comprehensive bioinformatics analyses of the ICE gene family in eight cotton species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 52 ICE genes were clustered into four subgroups. Cis-regulatory elements analysis suggests that the expression of ICE genes might be regulated by light, plant hormones, and various environment stresses. Higher expression of GthICE2 was observed in leaves as compared to roots and stems, in response to cold, drought, and exogenous hormone ABA. Furthermore, overexpression of GthICE2 in A. thaliana led to higher germination and survival rates, longer root length, lower ion leakage, and induction under cold and drought stress. Histochemical staining showed that oxidative damage in transgenic lines was much lower compared to wild-type plants. Lower MDA contents and higher SOD and POD activities were observed in overexpressed plants. Y1H and LUC assays revealed that GthICE2 might activate the expression of GthCBF4, a cold-responsive gene, by connecting with the MYC cis-element present in the promoter of GthCBF4. GthICE2 confers cold and drought stress tolerance in cotton. Our findings add significantly to the existing knowledge regarding cold stress tolerance and helps to elucidate cold response mechanisms in cotton.
