Identification and Expression Analyses of Invertase Genes in Moso Bamboo Reveal Their Potential Drought Stress Functions.

ABSTRACT: Invertases (INVs) can irreversibly hydrolyze sucrose into fructose and glucose, which play principal roles in carbon metabolism and responses to various stresses in plants. However, little is known about the INV family in bamboos, especially their potential function in drought stress. In this study, 29 PeINVs were identified in moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis). They were clustered into alkaline/neutral invertase (NINV) and acid invertase (AINV) groups based on the gene structures, conserved motifs, and phylogenetic analysis results. The collinearity analysis showed nine segmental duplication pairs within PeINVs, and 25 pairs were detected between PeINVs and OsINVs. PeINVs may have undergone strong purification selection during evolution, and a va
