Superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) plays a key role in response to drought stress, and differences in SOD activity changes among cultivars are important under drought conditions. We obtained the full-length DNA of the chloroplast Cu/Zn-SOD gene (AhCSD2) from 11 allotetraploid cultivars and 5 diploid wild species in peanut. BLAST search against the peanut genome showed that theAhCSD2genesgCSD2-1andgCSD2-2are located at the tops of chromosome A03 (A genome) and B03 (B genome), respectively, and both contain 8 exons and 7 introns. Nucleotide sequence analyses indicated thatgCSD2-2sequences were identical among all the tested cultivars, whilegCSD2-1sequences showed allelic variations. The amino acid sequences deduced fromgCSD2-1andgCSD2-2both contain a chloroplast transit peptide and are distinguished by 6 amino acid (aa) residue differences. The other 2 aa residue variations in the mature peptide regions give rise to three-dimensional structure changes of the protein deduced from the genesgCSD2-1andgCSD2-2.Sequences analyses of cultivars and wild species showed thatgCSD2-2ofArachis hypogaeaandgAipCSD2(Arachis ipaensis) are identical, and despite the abundant polymorphic loci betweengCSD2-1ofA. hypogaeaand sequences from A genome wild species, the deduced amino acid sequence of AhCSD2-1 (A. hypogaea) is identical to that of AduCSD2 (Arachis duranensis), whereas AcoCSD2 (Arachis correntina) and AcaCSD2 (Arachis cardenasii) both have 2 aa differences in the transit peptide region compared with AhCSD2-1 (A. hypogaea). Based on the Peanut Genome Project, promoter prediction revealed many stress-relatedcis-acting elements within the potential promoter regions (pp-Aandpp-B).pp-Acontains more binding sites for drought-associated transcriptional factors thanpp-B. We hypothesize that the marked changes in SOD activity in different cultivars under drought stress are tightly regulated by transcription factors through transcription and expression ofAhCSD2genes.
