Genome-wide identification and characterization of NCED gene family in soybean (Glycine max L.) and their expression profiles in response to various abiotic stress treatments.

ABSTRACT: The NCED (9-cis-epoxy carotenoid dioxygenase) enzyme regulates the biosynthesis of abscisic acid (ABA), which is responsible for plant growth, development, and response to various environmental challenges. However, no genome-wide identification, characterization, functional regulatory element analysis, and expression profiles in response to different abiotic stresses of the NCED gene family have yet to be investigated in an economically important legume plant species, soybean (Glycine max L.). Through comprehensive analysis, 16 NCED genes (named GmNCED1 to GmNCED16) belonging to the RPE65 domain were identified in the soybean genome and found to be unequally distributed over 9 distinct chromosomes. The distinct intron-exon structures of GmNCED genes were categorized into six groups and sha
