Genome-Wide Identification of the SWEET Gene Family and Functional Analysis of <i>BraSWEET10</i> in Winter <i>B. rapa</i> (<i>Brassica rapa</i> L.) Under Low-Temperature Stress.

ABSTRACT: Sugars will eventually be exported transporter (SWEET), a class of glucose transport proteins, is crucial in plants for glucose transport by redistribution of sugars and regulates growth, development, and stress tolerance. Although the SWEET family has been studied in many plants, little is known about its function in winter B. rapa (Brassica rapa L.). Bioinformatics approaches were adopted to identify the SWEET gene (BraSWEETs) family in B. rapa to investigate its role during overwintering. From the whole-genome data, 31 BraSWEET genes were identified. Gene expansion was realized by tandem and fragment duplication, and the 31 genes were classified into four branches by phylogenetic analysis. As indicated by exon-intron structure, cis-acting elements, MEM
