Molecular Evolution of Plant SULTR Proteins and Expression Analysis of HvSULTR Under Heat Stress in Barley.

ABSTRACT: Sulfur metabolism plays an important role in plant growth and environmental adaptation. Sulfate transporters (SULTRs) are essential players that mediate sulfur acquisition and distribution in many plants, thereby influencing the cellular redox homeostasis under abiotic stress. In this study, we identified 16 putative HvSULTRs genes in barley at the genome-wide level. The conservation and divergence of the SULTR gene family were assessed through a phylogenetic tree and gene structure analysis, revealing that these genes are closely distributed along the chromosomes. Furthermore, the expression pattern of SULTRs in multiple tissues, including flower, root, leaf, stem, seeds, female, male, root meristem, and apical meristem, were analyzed among ten land plants usin
