Abstract

The expression profile of the key carotenoid biosynthesis genes (ZmPSY1, ZmPSY2, ZmLcyE) was determined in the dynamics of cold stress and post-stress recovery in the leaves of Zea mays L. plants of four cold-tolerant (breeders’ data) inbred lines (L-5580-1, L-6097-1, L-5254-3, and L-5272-6). It was shown that, under normal growing conditions, the expression level of all three genes in the L-5580-1 line was significantly higher compared to other lines. It was revealed that low-temperature exposure affects the trends of gene expression fluctuations in a similar way between the lines. It was determined that, in the stress dynamics, the co-expression pattern of the ZmPSY1 and ZmPSY2 genes in the leaves of L-5580-1 plants is coordinated with changes in the carotenoid content.
