Comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the <i>HMGR</i> gene family of <i>Asparagus taliensis</i> and functional validation of <i>AtaHMGR10</i> under different abiotic stresses.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) is a key enzyme in the terpenoid biosynthetic pathway, playing a crucial role in plant stress responses. However, the HMGR gene family in Asparagus taliensis, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb with high steroidal saponin content and strong stress tolerance, remains poorly understood. This study investigates the stress response mechanisms of the HMGR gene family in A. taliensis under abiotic stress conditions.

Methods

A comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the HMGR gene family in A. taliensis was conducted. The analysis included chromosomal localization, phylogenetic tree construction, linear analysis, gene structure characterization, motif distribution, cis-acting
