Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression analysis of the non-specific lipid transfer proteins in potato.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are small, basic proteins that are abundant in higher plants. They have been reported to play an important role in various plant physiological processes, such as lipid transfer, signal transduction, and pathogen defense. To date, a comprehensive analysis of the potato nsLTP gene family is still lacking after the completion of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genome sequencing. A genome-wide characterization, classification and expression analysis of the StnsLTP gene family was performed in this study.

Results

In this study, a total of 83 nsLTP genes were identified and categorized into eight types based on Boutrot's method. Multiple characteristics of these genes, including phylogeny, gene structures, conserved moti
