Identification and Functional Characterization of the <i>CrRLK1L</i> Gene Family in Salt Tolerance in Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.).

ABSTRACT: Background: As key members of the plant receptor-like kinase family, rice CrRLK1Ls play diverse roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Although rice CrRLK1Ls have been initially characterized, our understanding of their functions remains limited. Methods: We identified OsCrRLK1L genes via Hidden Markov Model (HMM) searches against the rice genome. Subsequent analyses encompassed their physicochemical properties, chromosomal distribution, gene structure, phylogenetic relationships, conserved domains, and cis-acting elements.Salt-responsive candidates were screened using a GEO dataset, and their expression profiles were validated under salt stress using quantitative real-time PCR. Result: A total of 36 OsCrRLK1L genes, all c
