Genome-wide identification and expression pattern analysis of the chloride channel gene family in potato (<i>Solanum tuberosum</i> L.) under salt stress.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Chloride channel (CLC) proteins are crucial anion channels that play a vital role in plant adaptation to abiotic stresses. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a major global staple crop; however, the CLC gene family in potato (StCLC) remains poorly characterized, and its specific functions in salt tolerance are unclear. This study aimed to systematically identify and characterize the StCLC gene family and analyze its expression patterns under salt stress.

Methods

Using bioinformatics methods based on the potato genome, transcriptome, and qRT-PCR data, we analyzed the protein structures, physicochemical properties, phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, conserved domains, chromosomal locations, collinearity, GO annotations, a
