Functional annotations of ESTs of Stevia rebaudiana involved in abiotic stress signaling through computational approach.

ABSTRACT: Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) is known as a natural sweetener plant to produced steviol glycosides. The steviol glycosides biosynthesis is limited in S. rebaudiana plants due to the alteration in the environmental circumstances such as drought, cold, salt and light. These environmental circumstances are a common side-effect in plants affecting the plant growth, metabolism and yield of secondary metabolites. Due to absence of complete genome annotations, the plant metabolites signaling is difficult in order to get the exact enzymatic flow to the product. In this article, we have analyzed the ESTs of S. rebaudiana and predicted their role in plant signaling in term of cis-regulatory elements, their biological function respect to abiotic stress. Further, the predicte
