Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Pattern Profiling of the Aquaporin Gene Family in Papaya (Carica papaya L.).

ABSTRACT: Aquaporins (AQPs) are mainly responsible for the transportation of water and other small molecules such as CO₂ and H₂O_2, and they perform diverse functions in plant growth, in development, and under stress conditions. They are also active participants in cell signal transduction in plants. However, little is known about AQP diversity, biological functions, and protein characteristics in papaya. To better understand the structure and function of CpAQPs in papaya, a total of 29 CpAQPs were identified and classified into five subfamilies. Analysis of gene structure and conserved motifs revealed that CpAQPs exhibited a degree of conservation, with some differentiation among subfamilies. The predicted interaction network showed that the PIP
