Genomic characterization and expression profiles of stress-associated proteins (SAPs) in castor bean (Ricinus communis).

ABSTRACT: Stress-associated proteins (SAPs) are known as response factors to multiple abiotic and biotic stresses in plants. However, the potential physiological and molecular functions of SAPs remain largely unclear. Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) is one of the most economically valuable non-edible woody oilseed crops, able to be widely cultivated in marginal lands worldwide because of its broad adaptive capacity to soil and climate conditions. Whether SAPs in castor bean plays a key role in adapting diverse soil conditions and stresses remains unknown. In this study, we used the castor bean genome to identify and characterize nine castor bean SAP genes (RcSAP). Structural analysis showed that castor bean SAP gene structures and functional domain types vary greatly, d
