Genome-Wide Identification of the Potato GGPS Gene Family and Analysis of Its Response to Abiotic Stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GGPS) is a pivotal enzyme in terpene biosynthesis, influencing the production of carotenoids, chlorophylls, and diverse phytohormones. This study aimed to identify and characterize the StGGPS gene family in potato (Solanum tuberosum) to elucidate its involvement in carotenoid synthesis and responses to abiotic stresses.

Methods

Employing bioinformatics approaches, including HMMER, SMART, and Pfam, we conducted a genome-wide identification of StGGPS genes. Subsequent phylogenetic analysis, gene structure characterization, conserved motif detection, and synteny analysis were performed to investigate evolutionary relationships within the family. The expression patterns of StGGPS genes were then analyzed using RNA-s
