Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Profiling Analysis of the Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Gene Family Under Abiotic Stresses in Medicago sativa.

ABSTRACT: The mitochondrial calcium uniporters (MCUs) are a family of calcium unidirectional transporters important for cytoplasmic Ca²⁺ signals. Though the MCU proteins in several plant species have been investigated, genome-wide analysis of MCUs in alfalfa is lacking. Here, via genome-wide analysis, a total of 5, 20, and 6 MCU genes were identified in three different alfalfa cultivars, namely Medicago truncatula Jemalong A17, Medicago sativa XinJiangDaYe, and M. sativa Zhongmu No. 1, respectively. They were further phylogenetically classified into three subfamilies. Most MCU genes have only one intron, and gene duplication events of MCU genes were observed within each alfalfa accession and between different accessions. All alfalfa MCU pro
