Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the glutathione transferase gene family and its response to abiotic stress in rye (Secale cereale).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a crucial class of plant enzymes, playing pivotal roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, studies on the functions and regulatory mechanisms of GSTs in plants remain relatively limited.

Results

This study aimed to comprehensively identify and analyze GST proteins in rye. A total of 171 rye GST genes were identified and classified into four subfamilies, Tau, Phi, Theta, and Zeta, based on their sequence similarity and structural features. Notably, genes classified under the Tau subfamily were the most abundant at 118, while only one gene was under the Theta subfamily. Subsequent phylogenetic and collinearity analysis revealed 29 tandem duplications and 6 segmental duplication events. There were 13 col
