Identification and Expression Analysis of the Soybean Serine Acetyltransferase (<i>SAT</i>) Gene Family Under Salt Stress.

ABSTRACT: Serine acetyltransferase (SAT) is a critical enzyme in the sulfur-assimilation pathway of cysteine, playing an essential role in numerous physiological functions in plants, particularly in their response to environmental stresses. However, the structural characteristics of the soybean SAT gene family remain poorly understood. Members of the soybean SAT gene family were identified using the Hidden Markov Model approach. Bioinformatics tools, such as ExPASy, PlantCARE, MEME, and TBtools-II, were employed to examine the physicochemical properties, cis-regulatory elements, conserved motifs, gene structures, and chromosomal positions of the GmSAT genes. RT-qPCR was conducted to evaluate the expression profiles of GmSAT genes under NaCl-induced stress, identifying gen
