Genome-Wide Identification of ABSCISIC ACID-INSENSITIVE (<i>ABI</i>) Genes and Their Response to MeJA During Early Somatic Embryogenesis in Longan (<i>Dimocarpus longan</i> L.).

ABSTRACT: Methyl jasmonic acid (MeJA) is a vital phytohormone that plays a key role in plant growth and adaptation to various environmental stresses. In the present study, on the basis of the longan genome, we identified a total of seven versatile putative abscisic acid-insensitive genes, which are the key players in plant growth and stress response. On the basis of bioinformatics analysis, transcriptome data, exogenous treatment experiments, and RT-qPCR findings, a comprehensive evolutionary pattern of ABI genes in different plant species and the effect of different MeJA treatments during early somatic embryogenesis in D. longan was carried out. The phylogeny results revealed that the seven DlABI genes evolved independently in monocots and dicots, having high protein sequence s
