Contrasting Effects of Wild Arachis Dehydrin Under Abiotic and Biotic Stresses.

ABSTRACT: Plant dehydrins (DNHs) belong to the LEA (Late Embryogenesis Abundant) protein family and are involved in responses to multiple abiotic stresses. DHNs are classified into five subclasses according to the organization of three conserved motifs (K-; Y-; and S-segments). In the present study, the DHN protein family was characterized by molecular phylogeny, exon/intron organization, protein structure, and tissue-specificity expression in eight Fabaceae species. We identified 20 DHN genes, encompassing three (Y_nSK_n, SK_n, and K_n) subclasses sharing similar gene organization and protein structure. Two additional low conserved DHN Φ-segments specific to the legume SK_n-type of proteins were also found. The in silico expression patterns o
