Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the HVA22 gene family in cotton and functional analysis of GhHVA22E1D in drought and salt tolerance.

ABSTRACT: The HVA22 family of genes, induced by abscisic acid and stress, encodes a class of stress response proteins with a conserved TB2/DP1/HVA22 domain that are unique among eukaryotes. Previous studies have shown that HVA22s play an important role in plant responses to abiotic stresses. In the present study, 34, 32, 16, and 17 HVA22s were identified in G. barbadense, G. hirsutum, G. arboreum, and G. raimondii, respectively. These HVA22 genes were classified into nine subgroups, randomly distributed on the chromosomes. Synteny analysis showed that the amplification of the HVA22s were mainly due to segmental duplication or whole genome replication (WGD). Most HVA22s promoter sequences contain a large number of drought response element
