Abstract
Background: Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a significant economic oilseed crop, and saline-alkali soils restrict soybean yield. Identifying salt-tolerant genes is a key strategy for enhancing soybean productivity under saline-alkali conditions. The roles of the GmABCB gene family in growth, development, and stress resistance remain incompletely understood.
Methods: Bioinformatics approaches were employed to identify and analyze GmABCB genes. A total of 39 GmABCB genes were identified and analyzed in the soybean genome, focusing on their phylogenetic relationships, chromosomal distribution, gene structure, cis-acting elements, evolutionary history, and expression patterns under salt stress.
Results: A total of 39 GmABCB genes were identified. These genes are unevenly distributed across the soybean genome, with 21 segmental duplication events identified. Several cis-acting elements associated with abiotic stress responses were identified.
Conclusions: The GmABCB gene family likely regulates growth, development, and stress tolerance in soybean.
背景:大豆(Glycine max (L.))大豆是一种重要的经济油料作物,盐碱地制约着大豆的产量。鉴定耐盐基因是提高盐碱条件下大豆产量的关键策略。GmABCB基因家族在生长、发育和抗逆性中的作用尚不完全清楚。方法:采用生物信息学方法对GmABCB基因进行鉴定和分析。从大豆基因组中共鉴定出39个GmABCB基因,重点分析了它们的系统发育关系、染色体分布、基因结构、顺式作用元件、进化史以及盐胁迫下的表达模式。结果:共鉴定出39个GmABCB基因。这些基因在大豆基因组中分布不均匀,鉴定出21个片段重复事件。几个与非生物应激反应相关的顺式作用元件被确定。结论:GmABCB基因家族可能调控大豆的生长发育和抗逆性。
