Genome-Wide Identification and Functional Prediction of LRR-RLK Family Genes in Foxtail Millet (<i>Setaria italica</i>) in Response to Stress.

ABSTRACT: Leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) are involved in the regulation of various biological processes, including plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), an important cereal crop, has been extensively studied for its stress tolerance mechanisms. In this study, we performed a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis and chromosomal mapping of LRR-RLK genes in Setaria italica. A total of 285 SiLRR-RLK genes were identified and classified into 12 subfamilies based on phylogenetic relationships. Chromosome localization analysis revealed that SiLRR-RLK genes are unevenly distributed across the chromosomes, with certain regions showing gene clusters. Functional analysis of these genes under bio
