Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the Pirin Gene Family in Nicotiana benthamiana.

ABSTRACT: Background: Pirins are nuclear cupin proteins, one of several gene families within the plant cupin superfamily. However, the identification and functional analysis of Pirin proteins in Nicotiana benthamiana have not been explored. Methods: In this study, genome-wide analysis identifying NbPirin genes in N. benthamiana was conducted, as was phylogenetic analysis of Pirin genes in four Solanaceae species (including Capsicum annuum, Solanum lycopersicum, Solanum tuberosum, and N. benthamiana). In addition, we also evaluated the expression pattern of NbPirins under abiotic stress (temperature and phytohormones) and biotic stress (TMV, TuMV, and PVX). Results: A total of six Nbpirin genes were identified, which can be divided into t
