Genome-Wide Identification, Expression, and Response to Fusarium Infection of the SWEET Gene Family in Garlic (Allium sativum L.).

ABSTRACT: Proteins of the SWEET (Sugar Will Eventually be Exported Transporters) family play an important role in plant development, adaptation, and stress response by functioning as transmembrane uniporters of soluble sugars. However, the information on the SWEET family in the plants of the Allium genus, which includes many crop species, is lacking. In this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis of garlic (Allium sativum L.) and identified 27 genes putatively encoding clade I-IV SWEET proteins. The promoters of the A. sativum (As) SWEET genes contained hormone- and stress-sensitive elements associated with plant response to phytopathogens. AsSWEET genes had distinct expression patterns in garlic organs. The expression levels and dynamics of clade III
