In-silico identification, characterization and expression analysis of salt overly sensitive-2 (SOS2) gene family in Gossypium hirsutum L. against abiotic stresses.

ABSTRACT: Gossypium hirsutum backbone of economy of many countries; is primarily grown for production of fiber. This is the first genome-wide analysis of GhSOS2 gene family in G. hirsutum. Primary function of SOS2 is ion homeostasis and plays functional role in osmotic stress as well as drought, effecting the development and growth of plant. During this study 21 GhSOS2 proteins were identified in G. hirsutum via BLASTp against 4 AtSOS2 protein sequences from Arabidopsis thaliana as query. Two distinct domains (P-kinase and NAF domain) were conserved in all identified GhSOS2 proteins. Gene architecture and phylogenetic study depicts the evolutionary conservation and divergence among gene paralogs and their equal distribution among both genome as a result of synteny and duplication events.
