Genome-Wide Identification of the <i>CRY</i> Gene Family in <i>Solanum tuberosum</i> and Response to Abiotic Stresses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cryptochromes (CRYs) are not only blue-light receptors in plants but also participate in abiotic stress responses, making them essential for plant growth and development.

Methods

In this study, the CRY gene family in potato (StCRY) was identified and analyzed using bioinformatics approaches, and the expression patterns of StCRY genes under different abiotic stresses were validated through transcriptome datasets and RT-qPCR analysis.

Results

A total of 7 StCRY genes were identified, unevenly distributed across 4 chromosomes. The StCRY genes exhibit conserved structures, with predicted subcellular localization primarily in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and plastids. Promoter region analysis revealed the significant presence of
