Identification, function validation and haplotype analysis of salt-tolerant genes of lectin receptor kinase gene family in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Salt stress is one of the significant challenges in sorghum production, greatly impacting the yield of S. bicolor. L-type lectin receptor kinases (LLRKs) are essential for plant stress tolerance, yet a comprehensive genome-level analysis in this species has not been conducted.

Materials and methods

Members of the SbLLRLK gene family were identified using bioinformatics methods. Gene structures, motifs, and phylogenetic relationships were analyzed. Subsequently, expression profiles under various stress conditions were examined using transcriptome data. Furthermore, functional validation was performed through homologous gene alignment and transgenic analysis, focusing on the gene SORBI_3004G304700.

Results

This study identified 49 Sb
