Genome-wide identification of superoxide dismutase gene families and their expression patterns under low-temperature, salt and osmotic stresses in watermelon and melon.

ABSTRACT: The growth and development of watermelon and melon are affected by abiotic stresses such as cold, salinity and drought. Plant superoxide dismutase (SOD) proteins exerted great effects on plant growth, development and response to abiotic stresses. However, little is known about the characteristics of watermelon and melon SOD gene families and their expression patterns under abiotic stresses. In this study, the genome-wide identification of SOD genes and their expression patterns under abiotic stresses has been done in watermelon and melon. Seven SODs were identified in watermelon and melon, respectively. Chromosome location indicated that the SODs were dispersedly distributed on 4-6 chromosomes. Almost all the SOD proteins contained 300 amino acids or less and the intro
