Genome-wide analysis of the ammonium transporters gene family in Phaseolus vulgaris and its roles in response to drought and salinity stress.

ABSTRACT: Ammonium and nitrogen are two important sources of inorganic nitrogen that are crucial for the growth and development of plants. The absorption and mobility of ammonium is managed by ammonium transporters (AMTs). In present study, eleven candidates of the AMT family were identified in the bean genome and further characterized. Phylogenetic analysis of the PvAMT family members and their orthologs separated them into two main subfamilies. Members of subfamily I possessed a single exon each, whereas members of subfamily II showed either three or four exons. Docking analysis revealed multiple interaction sites between PvAMTs and the PII protein, which serves as a crucial component of the nitrogen pathway in bacteria. In silico examination of posttranslational protein modifications in PvAMTs re
