Genome-wide identification and analysis of the abiotic stress responsiveness of the heat shock protein 90 gene family in Medicago sativa L.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a highly conserved class of cellular chaperone proteins that are widely present in plants and are involved in the response to various biotic and abiotic stresses. The HSP90 gene has been extensively studied across numerous species, and several investigations on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) have demonstrated that HSP90 gene is implicated in plant-pathogen interactions. However, the HSP90 gene has not been fully identified in alfalfa.

Results

In this study, the HSP90 genes in alfalfa were identified and characterized throughout the genome. A total of 29 MsHSP90s were identified from the alfalfa "Xinjiangdaye" genome and were categorized into three subgroups, Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ, with 15, 9, and 5 members in each group, respectively. The MsHS
