Genome-Wide Dissection of MATE Gene Family in Cultivated Peanuts and Unveiling Their Expression Profiles Under Aluminum Stress.

ABSTRACT: Peanut faces yield constraints due to aluminum (Al) toxicity in acidic soils. The multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family is known for extruding organic compounds and transporting plant hormones and secondary metabolites. However, the MATE transporter family has not yet been reported in peanuts under the Al stress condition. In this genome-wide study, we identified 111 genes encoding MATE proteins from the cultivated peanut genome via structural analysis, designated as AhMATE1-AhMATE111. Encoded proteins ranged from 258 to 582 aa residues. Based on their phylogenetic relationship and gene structure, they were classified into six distinct groups. Genes were distributed unevenly on twenty peanut chromosomes. Chr-05 exhibited the higher density of 12%, while chr-02
