Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the HAK Gene Family in Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) and Their Expression Profiles under Saline and Alkaline Conditions.

ABSTRACT: The high-affinity K⁺ transporter (HAK) family, the most prominent potassium transporter family in plants, which involves K⁺ transport, plays crucial roles in plant responses to abiotic stresses. However, the HAK gene family remains to be characterized in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.). We explored HAKs in quinoa, identifying 30 members (CqHAK1-CqHAK30) in four clusters phylogenetically. Uneven distribution was observed across 18 chromosomes. Furthermore, we investigated the proteins' evolutionary relationships, physicochemical properties, conserved domains and motifs, gene structure, and cis-regulatory elements of the CqHAKs family members. Transcription data analysis showed that CqHAKs have diverse expression patterns amo
