Elucidating the role of pyrabactin-like receptors of finger millet under drought and salinity stress: an insight into <i>in silico</i>, machine learning and molecular approaches.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Pyrabactin Resistance 1-like (PYL) receptors, a family of proteins in plants, play a vital role in abscisic acid (ABA) signalling, assisting plants in managing abiotic stresses. Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn) is a naturally drought tolerant crop, yet the receptor proteins involved in its stress signalling pathways remain poorly understood.

Method

This study employed bioinformatics, machine learning, and molecular approaches to identify, characterize, and profile the expression of PYL receptors in response to drought and salinity stress.

Results

The study identified 14 PYL genes in the finger millet genome, irregularly distributed across four of the nine mapped chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis grouped these genes into thr
