Genome-Wide Analysis of Soybean Apyrase Gene Family and Functional Characterization of GmAPY1-4 Responses to Aluminum Stress.

ABSTRACT: Apyrases (APYs) directly regulate intra- and extra-cellular ATP homeostasis and play a key role in the process of plants adapting to various stresses. In this study, we identified and characterized soybean APY (GmAPY) family members at the genomic level. The results identified a total of 18 APYRASE homologous genes with conserved ACR domains. We conducted a bioinformatics analysis of GmAPYs, including sequence alignment, phylogenetic relationships, and conserved motifs. According to the phylogenetic and structural characteristics, GmAPYs in soybeans are mainly divided into three groups. The characteristics of these GmAPYs were systematically evaluated, including their collinearity, gene structure, protein motifs, cis-regulatory elements, tissue expression patterns, and
