Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the <i>ADH</i> gene family in <i>Artemisia annua</i> L. under UV-B stress.

ABSTRACT: ADHs are key genes that catalyze the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes, which play crucial roles in plant adaptation to a range of abiotic stresses. However, the characterization and evolutionary pathways of ADH genes in the antimalarial plant Artemisia annua are still unclear. This study identified 49 ADH genes in A. annua and conducted a detailed analysis of their structural features, conserved motifs, and duplication types, revealing that tandem and dispersed duplications are the primary mechanisms of gene expansion. Evolutionary analysis of ADH genes between A. annua (AanADH) and A. argyi (AarADH) revealed dynamic changes, with 35 genes identified deriving from their most recent common ancestor in both s
