Characterization of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene family in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) and its potential implications in flowering time regulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Linseed is an important oilseed crop with diverse applications in the food, nutraceutical, oil, and paint industries. Flowering time is a critical trait in linseed, as it greatly influences seed yield potential and quality across various agro-ecological zones. Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) genes have been implicated in the regulation of flowering time in plants. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the TPS gene family in linseed, using comparative genomics and bioinformatics approaches, is essential for elucidating the genetic mechanisms underlying flowering time regulation in this crop.

Results

A total of 18 LuTPS genes, including several paralogs, were identified in the linseed genome and clustered into two distinct groups. Gene expression analysis in d
