Abstract

Abstract Background Tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs), which typically mediate water transport across vacuolar membranes, play an essential role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, their characterization in tigernut (Cyperus esculentus L.), an oil-bearing tuber plant of the Cyperaceae family, is still in the infancy. Results In this study, a first genome-wide characterization of the TIP subfamily was conducted in tigernut, resulting in ten members representing five previously defined phylogenetic groups, i.e., TIP1–5. Although the gene amounts are equal to that present in two model plants Arabidopsis and rice, the group composition and/or evolution pattern were shown to be different. Except for CeTIP1;3 that has no counterpart in both Arabidopsis and rice, complex orthologous relationships of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:1, and 2:2 were observed. Expansion of the CeTIP subfamily was contributed by whole-genome duplication (WGD), transposed, and dispersed duplications. In contrast to the recent WGD-derivation of CeTIP3;1/-3;2, synteny analyses indicated that TIP4 and − 5 are old WGD repeats of TIP2, appearing sometime before monocot-eudicot divergence. Expression analysis revealed that CeTIP genes exhibit diverse expression profiles and are subjected to developmental and diurnal fluctuation regulation. Moreover, when transiently overexpressed in tobacco leaves, CeTIP1;1 was shown to locate in the vacuolar membrane and function in homo/heteromultimer, whereas CeTIP2;1 is located in the cell membrane and only function in heteromultimer. Interestingly, CeTIP1;1 could mediate the tonoplast-localization of CeTIP2;1 via protein interaction, implying complex regulatory patterns. Conclusions Our findings provide a global view of CeTIP genes, which provide valuable information for further functional analysis and genetic improvement through manipulating key members in tigernut.
