Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the HAK/KUP/KT gene family in Moso bamboo.

ABSTRACT: The K⁺ uptake permease/high-affinity K⁺/K⁺ transporter (KUP/HAK/KT) family is the most prominent group of potassium (K⁺) transporters, playing a key role in K⁺ uptake, transport, plant growth and development, and stress tolerance. However, the presence and functions of the KUP/HAK/KT family in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis (Carriere) J. Houzeau), the fastest-growing plant, have not been studied. In this study, we identified 41 KUP/HAK/KT genes (PeHAKs) distributed across 18 chromosomal scaffolds of the Moso bamboo genome. PeHAK is a typical membrane protein with a conserved structural domain and motifs. Phylogenetic tree analysis classified PeHAKs into four distinct clusters, while collinearity analysis reveale
