Genome-wide identification of Shaker K⁺ channel family in Nicotiana tabacum and functional analysis of NtSKOR1B in response to salt stress.

ABSTRACT: Soil salinization poses a mounting global ecological and environmental threat. The identification of genes responsible for negative regulation of salt tolerance and their utilization in crop improvement through gene editing technologies emerges as a swift strategy for the effective utilization of saline-alkali lands. One efficient mechanism of plant salt tolerance is maintaining the proper intracellular K⁺/Na⁺ ratio. The Shaker K⁺ channels play a crucial role in potassium absorption, transport, and intracellular potassium homeostasis in plant cells. Here, the study presents the first genome-wide identification of Shaker K⁺ channels in Nicotiana tabacum L., along with a detailed bioinformatic analysis of the 20 identified members. Transcrip
