Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channel Gene Family in Zoysia japonica under Salt Stress.

ABSTRACT: Salt stress severely inhibits plant growth. Understanding the mechanism of plant salt tolerance is highly important to improving plant salt tolerance. Previous studies have shown that nonselective cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels (CNGCs) play an important role in plant salt tolerance. However, current research on CNGCs mainly focuses on CNGCs in glycophytic plants, and research on CNGCs in halophytes that exhibit special salt tolerance strategies is still scarce. This study used the halophilic plant Zoysia japonica, an excellent warm-season turfgrass, as the experimental material. Through bioinformatics analysis, 18 members of the CNGC family were identified in Zoysia japonica; they were designated ZjCNGC1 through ZjCNGC18
