Pan-genome wide identification and analysis of the SAMS gene family in sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L.) revealed their intraspecies diversity and potential roles in abiotic stress tolerance.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), a key molecule in plant biology, plays an essential role in stress response and growth regulation. Despite its importance, the SAM synthetase (SAMS) gene family in sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L.) remains poorly understood.

Methods

In this study, the SAMS genes were identified from the sunflower genome. Subsequently, the protein properties, gene structure, chromosomal location, cis-acting elements, collinearity, and phylogeny of the SAMS gene family were analyzed by bioinformatic methods. Finally, the expression patterns of SAMS genes in different tissues, under different hormonal treatment and abiotic stress were analyzed based on transcriptome data and qRT-PCR.

Results

This study identified 58 SAM
