Abstract: The circadian clock is a complex regulatory network that promotes plant growth in the ever-changing environment. REVEILLE8 (RVE8) is an important gene in the circadian clock. In order to explore the molecular mechanism, the FaRVE8 gene of leaves from Festuca arundinacea was cloned by RT-PCR and RACE. It was found that the full length of FaRVE8 was 1881 bp, the open reading frame was 1236 bp, encoding 411 amino acids, which belonged to a MYB-like factor. The phylogenetic analysis showed that it is closely related to Brachypodium distachyon, Aegilops tauschii, and Hordeum vulgare. Real-time fluorescence quantitative analysis of FaRVE8 expression in F. arundinacea leaves under different light treatments showed that FaRVE8 was expressed under different light treatments and showed obvious circadian rhythm. Subcellular localization indicated that FaRVE8 is localized in the nucleus, and FaRVE8 may play an important role in the nucleus. These above studies indicate that the FaRVE8 gene plays an important role in regulating biological rhythms, laying the foundation for further study of the function and molecular regulation mechanisms of the FaRVE8 gene.
