The two-component system (TCS) generally consists of three elements, namely the histidine kinase (HK), response regulator (RR), and histidine phosphotransfer (HP) gene families. This study aimed to assess the expression of TCS genes in P. vulgaris leaf tissue under salt and drought stress and perform a genome-wide analysis of TCS gene family members using bioinformatics methods. This study identified 67 PvTCS genes, including 10 PvHP, 38 PvRR, and 19 PvHK, in the bean genome. PvHK2 had the maximum number of amino acids with 1261, whilst PvHP8 had the lowest number with 87. In addition, their theoretical isoelectric points were between 4.56 (PvHP8) and 9.15 (PvPRR10). The majority of PvTCS genes are unstable. Phylogenetic analysis of TCS genes in A. thaliana, G. max, and bean found that PvTCS genes had close phylogenetic relationships with the genes of other plants. Segmental and tandem duplicate gene pairs were detected among the TCS genes and TCS genes have been subjected to purifying selection pressure in the evolutionary process. Furthermore, the TCS gene family, which has an important role in abiotic stress and hormonal responses in plants, was characterized for the first time in beans, and its expression of TCS genes in bean leaves under salt and drought stress was established using RNAseq and qRT-PCR analyses. The findings of this study will aid future functional and genomic studies by providing essential information about the members of the TCS gene family in beans.

(Springer Heidelberg, 2017) Inal, Behcet; Buyuk, Ilker; Ilhan, Emre; Aras, Sumer
The aim of this study was to identify and characterize the C2C2-YABBY family of genes by a genome-wide scale in common bean. Various in silico approaches were used for the study and the results were confirmed through common molecular biology techniques. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis was performed for identified putative PvulYABBY genes in leaf and root tissues of two common bean cultivars, namely Yakutiye and Zulbiye under salt stress condition. Eight candidate PvulYABBY proteins were discovered and the length of these proteins ranged from 173 to 256 amino acids. The isoelectric points (pIs) of YABBY proteins were between 5.18 and 9.34 and ranged from acidic to alkaline, and the molecular weight of PvulYABBYs were between 18978.4 and 28916.8 Da. Three segmentally duplicated gene couples among the identified eight PvulYABBY genes were detected. These segmentally duplicated gene couples were PvulYABBY-1/PvulYABBY-3, PvulYABBY-5/PvulYABBY-7 and PvulYABBY-6/PvulYABBY-8. The predicted number of exons among the PvulYABBY genes varied from 6 to 8 exons. Additionally, all genes found included introns within ORFs. PvulYABBY-2, -4, -5 and -7 genes were targeted by miRNAs of five plant species and a total of five miRNA families (miR5660, miR1157, miR5769, miR5286 and miR8120) were detected. According to RNA-seq analysis, all genes were up- or down-regulated except for PvulYABBY-1 and PvulYABBY-6 after salt stress treatment in leaf and root tissues of common bean. According to the qPCR analysis, six out of eight genes were expressed in the leaves but only four out of eight genes were expressed in the roots and these genes exhibited tissue-and cultivar-specific expression patterns.

Genome-Wide Identification of Salinity Responsive HSP70s in Common Bean
(Springer, 2016) Buyuk, Ilker; Inal, Behcet; Ilhan, Emre; Tanriseven, Mehmet; Aras, Sumer; Erayman, Mustafa
The present study is aimed to identify and characterize HSP70 (PvHSP70) genes in two different common bean cultivars under salt stress. For this purpose various in silico methods such as RNAseq data and qRT-PCR analysis were used. A total of 24 candidate PvHSP70 gene were identified. Except for chromosome 4 and 7, these candidate PvHSP70 genes were distributed on the remaining chromosomes. While the lowest number of PvHSP70 genes was determined on chromosomes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11 (one HSP70 gene), the highest number of PvHSP70s was on chromosomes 6 and 8 (seven HSP70 genes each). Three genes; PvHSP70-5, -9, and -10 were found to have no-introns. In addition, four tandemly and six segmentally duplicated gene couples were detected. A total of 13 PvHSP70 genes were targeted by miRNAs of 44 plant species and the most targeted genes were PvHSP70-5 and -23. The expression profile of PvHSP70 genes based on publicly available RNA-seq data was identified and salt treated leaf tissue was found to have more gene expression levels compared to the root. qRT-PCR analysis showed that the transcript concentrations of upregulated PvHSP70 genes in leaves of Zulbiye (sensitive) were mostly higher than those of Yakutiye (resistant). The present study revealed that PvHSP70 genes might play an important role in salt stress response for common bean cultivars and variability between cultivars also suggests that these genes could be used as functional markers for salt tolerance in common bean.
Transcriptome -Scale Characterization of Salt Responsive Bean Tcp Transcription Factors
(Elsevier, 2018) Ilhan, Emre; Buyuk, Ilker; Inal, Behcet
TEOSINTE-BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PCF (TCP) proteins are important regulators of growth and developmental processes including branching, floral organ morphogenesis and leaf growth as well as stress response. This study identified 27 TCP genes of Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean), which were divided into three clusters based on phylogenetic relationship. In addition, this study showed that some of TCP genes such as Pvul-TCP-4 and Pvul-TCP-15 located on chromosomes 3 and 7, Pvul-TCP-7 and Pvul-TCP-20 located on chromosome 7 and 9, were segmentally duplicated. On the other hand, a total of 20 Pvul-TCP genes have predicted to be targeted by microRNAs (miRNA). Most of the miRNA-target genes were Pvul-TCP-1,-11,-13 and -27, which were targeted by 13, 17, 22 and 13 plant miRNAs, respectively. miR319 was one of the highly represented regulatory miRNAs to target TCP transcripts. Promoter region analysis of TCP genes resulted that the GT-1 motif, which was related to salt stress, was found in 14 different Pvul-TCP genes. Expression profiling of 10 Pvul-TCP genes based on RNA-sequencing data further confirmed with quantitative real-time RT-PCR measurements identified that Pvul-TCP genes under salt stress are expressed in a cultivar- and tissue-specific manner.

(Springer India, 2020) Inal, Behcet; Ilhan, Emre; Buyuk, Ilker; Altintas, Serdar
Plant mitochondrial transcription termination factor (mTERF) is a large and important family with valuable roles in organizing of organelle gene expression under the various stresses. In this study, genome wide analysis of mTERF regulatory genes was achieved and twenty-five potential mTERF genes response water deficit in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) were determined. Most of them were targeted to organelles genome especially mitochondria. It was found that Grape mTERFs were clustered into six main groups based on phylogenetic analysis. As a result of comprehensive expression analysis of these genes, using RNA-seq data in this study revealed that these genes have various expression profiles. With this study, various important roles of mTERF genes of grape under the water deficit stress were reported at first in grape. All results were found will be useful for elucidating the roles of mTERF genes in the growth, development and stress response of grape and fundamental for functional genomic studies.
