Genome-wide identification and molecular characterization of the MAPK family members in sand pear (Pyrus pyrifolia).

ABSTRACT:

Background

'Whangkeumbae', a highly regarded variety of sand pear, is celebrated in the market for its distinctive and superior flavor. However, the rapid production of ethylene after harvest significantly shortens its shelf life, becoming a major limiting factor for enhancing its commercial value. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a highly conserved family of transferases in eukaryotes. Although the importance of this family has been extensively studied in other plants, the precise composition and functional mechanisms of MAPK members in sand pear remain elusive. A genome-wide identification and molecular characterization of the MAPK gene family were conducted in Pyrus pyrifolia. This comprehensive analysis aimed to elucidate the genomic distribution, evolutionary rela
