Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Expression Analysis of <i>NRT</i> Gene Family in <i>Suaeda glauca</i>.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen (N) is crucial for plant growth and stress resistance and is primarily absorbed and transported by nitrate transporters (NRT). Suaeda glauca, known for its strong salt-alkali stress resistance, and SgNRT genes have rarely been reported. This study aims to identify and analyze the SgNRT gene family to understand its composition, evolutionary patterns, and roles in salt stress responses. We identified 212 SgNRTs, which were categorized into three branches, with SgNRT1/SgNPF and SgNRT2 as the major families. Structural analysis, conserved domains, chromosomal localization, and collinearity were also examined. Spatiotemporal expression characteristics of SgNRT genes were analyzed, revealing specific expression across 13 organs or tissues and d
