Genome-wide identification of MGT gene family in soybean (Glycine max) and their expression analyses under magnesium stress conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnesium (Mg) is essential for plant growth and development and plays critical roles in physiological and biochemical processes. Mg deficiency adversely affects growth of plants by limiting shoot and root development, disturbing the structure and membranes of the grana, reducing photosynthesis efficiency, and lowering net CO₂ assimilation. The MGT (Magnesium transporter) family is responsible for the absorption and transportation of magnesium in plants. Although the MGT family has been identified in different plant species, research regarding the soybean MGT genes is limited.

Results

In the current study, a total of 39 MGT genes distributed on 17 different chromosomes were identified in soybean. Phylogenetic analysis classified GmMGTs into three subgro
