Molecular characterization of REM genes in Cajanus cajan suggests the role of CcREM1 and CcREM6 like genes in heat stress response.

ABSTRACT: The increasing temperature is a major threat to plant growth and development. It severely alters various biochemical and physiological processes and ultimately affects the overall crop yield. The membrane-based remorin protein-encoding genes (REM) were previously reported as significantly involved in the regulation of various biotic and abiotic stressors. However, these REM genes were not studied in Cajanus Cajan, the sixth most important legume crop due to its rich protein source and traditional medicinal plant. In this study, 17 REM gene orthologs were identified in C. cajan against A. thaliana REM genes and verified through the presence of conserved REM-related domains. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that REM genes were divided into six different groups. All the REM genes were unevenly
