Genome-wide analysis of the Amorphophallus konjac AkCSLA gene family and its functional characterization in drought tolerance of transgenic arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Amorphophallus konjac (A. konjac), a perennial tuberous plant, is widely cultivated for its high konjac glucomannan (KGM) content, a heteropolysaccharide with diverse applications. The cellulose synthase-like (CSL) gene family is known to be a group of processive glycan synthases involved in the synthesis of cell-wall polysaccharides and plays an important role in the biological process of KGM. However, in A. konjac the classification, structure, and function of the AkCSLA superfamily have been studied very little.

Results

Bioinformatics methods were used to identify the 11 AkCSLA genes from the whole genome of Amorphophallus konjac and to systematically analyze their characteristics, phylogenetic evolution, promoter cis-elements, expression patterns, and subcellu
