Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of PP2C Gene Family in Eelgrass.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Protein Phosphatase 2C (PP2C), a conserved family in plants, plays a crucial role in ABA and MAPK signaling pathways. Its functional diversity provides key mechanisms for plants' adaptation to environmental changes. However, research on PP2C family members remains significantly underexplored in seagrasses, which are model organisms adapted to complex marine environments.

Methods

In this study, we systematically analyzed the PP2C gene family in eelgrass using bioinformatic methods and performed a qPCR experiment to verify the expression of a few members in their response to salt stress.

Results

The eelgrass PP2C gene family comprises 52 members, categorized into 13 subfamilies. Most PP2C genes exhibit a differential expression across various organs, with som
