Genome-wide identification of TaeGRASs responsive to biotic stresses and functional analysis of TaeSCL6 in wheat resistance to powdery mildew.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Powdery mildew is a devastating fungal disease that poses a significant threat to wheat yield and quality worldwide. Identifying resistance genes is highly advantageous for the molecular breeding of resistant cultivars. GRAS proteins are important transcription factors that regulate plant development and stress responses. Nonetheless, their roles in wheat-pathogen interactions remain poorly understood.

Results

In this study, we used bioinformatics tools to identify and analyze wheat GRAS family genes responsive to biotic stresses and elucidated the function of TaeSCL6 within this family. A total of 179 GRAS genes in wheat were unevenly distributed on 7 chromosomes, and classified into 12 subfamilies based on phylogenetic relationship analysis. Gene duplication ana
