Genome wide identification of BjSWEET gene family and drought response analysis of BjSWEET12 and BjSWEET17 genes in Brassica juncea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporter (SWEET) gene family is a unique type of sugar transporter that plays a vital role in metabolic regulation, growth, development, and stress response in multiple species. This study aimed to systematically identify the SWEET gene family members and detect the regulation of gene expression and their potential roles of the SWEET gene family in Brassica juncea.

Results

A total of 66 BjSWEET (Brassica juncea Sugar Will Eventually be Exported Transporter) genes distributed across 17 chromosomes were identified. The gene structure and motifs were relatively conserved, with all members containing the MtN3/saliva domain. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the SWEET gene family can be classified into four subfamilies (Clades I,
