Genome-wide identification and unveiling the role of MAP kinase cascade genes involved in sugarcane response to abiotic stressors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The MAP Kinase cascade system is a conserved signaling mechanism essential for plant development, growth, and stress tolerance. Thus far, genes from the MAPK cascade have been identified in several plant species but remain uncharacterized in the polyploid Saccharum spp. Hybrid R570 genome.

Results

This study identified 89 ScMAPK, 24 ScMAPKK, and 107 ScMAPKKK genes through genome-wide analysis. Phylogenetic classification revealed that four subgroups were present in each ScMAPK and ScMAPKK family, and three sub-families (ZIK-like, RAF-like, and MEKK-like) presented in the ScMAPKKK family. Conserved motif and gene structure analysis supported the evolutionary relationships of the three families inferred from the phylogenetic analysis. All of the ScMAPK, ScMAPKK and
