Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase gene family related to salt tolerance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.).

ABSTRACT: Plant U-box (PUB) E3 ubiquitin ligases play essential roles in many biological processes and stress responses, but little is known about their functions in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). In the present study, 59 SbPUB genes were identified in the sorghum genome. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, the 59 SbPUB genes were clustered into five groups, which were also supported by the conserved motifs and structures of these genes. SbPUB genes were found to be unevenly distributed on the 10 chromosomes of sorghum. Most PUB genes (16) were found on chromosome 4, but there were no PUB genes on chromosome 5. Analysis of cis-acting elements showed that SbPUB genes were involved in many important biological processes, particularly in response t
