Identification and Characterization of Shaker Potassium Channel Gene Family and Response to Salt and Chilling Stress in Rice.

ABSTRACT: Shaker potassium channel proteins are a class of voltage-gated ion channels responsible for K⁺ uptake and translocation, playing a crucial role in plant growth and salt tolerance. In this study, bioinformatic analysis was performed to identify the members within the Shaker gene family. Moreover, the expression patterns of rice Shaker(OsShaker) K⁺ channel genes were analyzed in different tissues and salt treatment by RT-qPCR. The results revealed that there were eight OsShaker K⁺ channel genes distributed on chromosomes 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 in rice, and their promoters contained a variety of cis-regulatory elements, including hormone-responsive, light-responsive, and stress-responsive elements, etc. Most of the OsShaker K⁺
