Genome-Wide Characterization of HSP90 Gene Family in Cucumber and Their Potential Roles in Response to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses.

ABSTRACT: Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) possesses critical functions in plant developmental control and defense reactions. The HSP90 gene family has been studied in various plant species. However, the HSP90 gene family in cucumber has not been characterized in detail. In this study, a total of six HSP90 genes were identified from the cucumber genome, which were distributed to five chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis divided the cucumber HSP90 genes into two groups. The structural characteristics of cucumber HSP90 members in the same group were similar but varied among different groups. Synteny analysis showed that only one cucumber HSP90 gene, Csa1G569290, was conservative, which was not collinear with any HSP90 gene in Arabidopsis and rice. The other five cucumber HSP90 genes were collinear w
