Tau GSTs involved in regulation of leaf abscission by comparison the gene profiling of MeGSTs in various abscission-promoting treatments in cassava abscission zones.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have been reported to regulate the plant tolerance to environmental stresses. Many plant GSTs exhibited the roles on promoting tolerance to drought stress, oxidative stress and plant hormones. The biological function of GSTs has been well characterized in Arabidopsis thaliana in response to exogenous environmental stresses. However, their regulation function under exogenous environmental stresses regulating leaf abscission in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) remained unknown.

Results

Here, 83 GSTs were identified from tropical plant cassava. The amino acid motifs and phylogenetic analyses indicated that MeGSTs were divided into 9 classes. The global expression analyses were carried out to analyze the gene expression patterns of
