Genome-wide identification of the OMT gene family in Cucumis melo L. and expression analysis under abiotic and biotic stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

O-methyltransferase (OMT)-mediated O-methylation is a frequent modification that occurs during natural product biosynthesis, and it increases the diversity and stability of secondary metabolites. However, detailed genome-wide identification and expression analyses of OMT gene family members have not been performed in melons. In this study, we aimed to perform the genome-wide identification of OMT gene family members in melon to identify and clarify their actions during stress.

Methods

Genome-wide identification of OMT gene family members was performed using data from the melon genome database. The Cucumis melo OMT genes (CmOMTs) were then compared with the genes from two representative monocotyledons and three representative dico
