Genome-Wide Investigation and Expression Analysis of the Catalase Gene Family in Oat Plants (Avena sativa L.).

ABSTRACT: Through the degradation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), different antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase (CAT), defend organisms against oxidative stress. These enzymes are crucial to numerous biological functions, like plant development and defense against several biotic and abiotic stresses. However, despite the major economic importance of Avena sativa around the globe, little is known about the CAT gene's structure and organization in this crop. Thus, a genome-wide investigation of the CAT gene family in oat plants has been carried out to characterize the potential roles of those genes under different stressors. Bioinformatic approaches were used in this study to predict the AvCAT gene's structure, secondary and tertiary protein structures, physicochemical
