Identification and expression analysis of the small auxin-up RNA (SAUR) gene family in Lycium ruthenicum.

ABSTRACT: The plant hormone auxin regulates numerous aspects of plant growth and development, and small auxin-up RNA (SAUR) is the largest family of early auxin response genes in higher plants. SAUR has been implicated in the regulation of multiple biological processes. However, no comprehensive analysis of SAUR genes has been reported in Lycium ruthenicum. L. ruthenicum is a thorny shrub with very pronounced salt and drought tolerance, and studies have shown that stem thorns are related to drought tolerance in L. ruthenicum. In this study, the identification, phylogenetic analysis, and conserved motif prediction of SAUR genes were extensively explored. Furthermore, the tissue expression patterns of selected SAUR genes were assayed with quantitative real-time polymerase c
