Genome-Wide Identification of the IQM Gene Family and Their Transcriptional Responses to Abiotic Stresses in Kiwifruit (Actinidia eriantha).

ABSTRACT: IQM is a plant-specific calcium-binding protein that plays a pivotal role in various aspects of plant growth response to stressors. We investigated the IQM gene family and its expression patterns under diverse abiotic stresses and conducted a comprehensive analysis and characterization of the AeIQMs, including protein structure, genomic location, phylogenetic relationships, gene expression profiles, salt tolerance, and expression patterns of this gene family under different abiotic stresses. Based on phylogenetic analysis, these 10 AeIQMs were classified into three distinct subfamilies (I-III). Analysis of the protein motifs revealed a considerable level of conservation among these AeIQM proteins within their respective subfamilies in kiwifruit. The genomic distribution of th
