Identification and analysis of the GATA gene family in onion (Allium cepa L.) in response to chromium and salt stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The GATA transcription factors play multifaceted roles in modulating vital physiological processes in plants. However, the GATA transcription factor family in onion (Allium cepa L.) has been explored to a limited extent. In the present study, a genome-wide survey of the GATA family and the subsequent characterization has been carried out in the onion genome.

Results

In total, 24 A. cepa GATAs (AcGATA1-AcGATA24) have been identified in the onion genome. Chromosomal mapping revealed that all identified genes could be mapped onto different onion chromosomes or scaffolds. The gene duplication, synteny, and collinearity analysis of the AcGATAs suggested their divergence, expansion, and selection in onions. Phylogenetic analysis of the AcGATAs divided them into five gro
