Identification of the U-box gene family in peach (<i>Prunus persica</i>) and functional analysis of <i>PpPUB20</i> in response to salt stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the rising proportion of saline soils in the global irrigated soil area, improving salt stress tolerance in peach is of great significance and value for the development of peach industry. Plant U-box proteins (PUBs) are widely involved in various stress response processes. In this study, genome-wide identification and analysis of PUBs genes in cultivated peach were carried out, and the expression profiles of peach PUB genes in different tissues of peach as well as their responses under salt stress were also investigated.

Methods

The genome-wide identification of PUBs genes in cultivated peach was analysed by gene localisation, gene structure and evolutionary analysis. Subsequently, the expression profiles of PpPUB genes in different tissues of peach and the c
