The SAP Gene Family in Oat (Avena sativa L.): Genome-Wide Identification, Gene Expression Analysis, and Functional Characterization of AvSAP1 in Response to Stress Conditions.

ABSTRACT: The stress-associated proteins (SAPs) correspond to zinc-finger proteins containing A20/AN1 domains that are involved in plant responses to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses. However, in oat, no information has been available so far regarding the characteristics and regulation of these genes. In the current research work, eleven AvSAP genes were identified in oats genome (OT3098 variety) named AvSAP1 to AvSAP11. Eight proteins contained both A20 and AN1 domains located at the N- and C-terminal portions of the proteins, respectively. Subsequently, the gene structure and duplication, chromosomal location, cis-acting elements, and protein properties were analyzed using bioinformatic tools. Moreover, genes expression profiles revealed that AvSAP genes pres
