Genome-Wide Identification of the Vacuolar H⁺-ATPase Gene Family in Five Rosaceae Species and Expression Analysis in Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri).

ABSTRACT: Vacuolar H⁺-ATPases (V-ATPase) are multi-subunit complexes that function as ATP hydrolysis-driven proton pumps. They play pivotal roles in physiological processes, such as development, metabolism, stress, and growth. However, there have been very few studies on the characterisation of V-ATPase (VHA) genes in Rosaceae species. Therefore, in the present study, we performed a genome-wide analysis and identified VHA gene family members in five Rosaceae species (Pyrus bretschneideri, Malus domestica, Prunus persica, Fragaria vesca, and Prunus mume). A total of 159 VHA genes were identified, and were classified into 13 subfamilies according to the phylogenetic analysis. The structure of VHA proteins revealed high similarity among differ
