Genome-wide Identification and analysis of the stress-resistance function of the TPS (Trehalose-6-Phosphate Synthase) gene family in cotton.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Trehalose (a-D-glucopyranosyl a-D-glucopyranoside) is a nonreducing disaccharide and is widely distributed in bacteria, fungi, algae, plants and invertebrates. In the study, the identification of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) genes stress-related in cotton, and the genetic structure analysis and molecular evolution analysis of TPSs were conducted with bioinformatics methods, which could lay a foundation for further research of TPS functions in cotton.

Results

The genome information of Gossypium raimondii (group D), G. arboreum L. (group A), and G. hirsutum L. (group AD) was used in the study. Fifty-three TPSs were identified comprising 15 genes in group D, 14 in group A, and 24 in group AD. Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the genetic structure a
