Transcriptome-wide characterization and functional analysis of Xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) gene family of Salicornia europaea L. under salinity and drought stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Salicornia europaea is a halophyte that has a very pronounced salt tolerance. As a cell wall manipulating enzyme, xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) plays an important role in plant resistance to abiotic stress. However, no systematic study of the XTH gene family in S. europaea is well known. PacBio Iso-Seq transcriptome sequence data were used for bioinformatics and gene expression analysis using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).

Results

Transcriptome sequencing (PacBio Iso-Seq system) generated 16,465,671 sub-reads and after quality control of Iso-Seq, 29,520 isoforms were obtained with an average length of 2112 bp. A total of 24,869 unigenes, with 98% of which were obtained using coding sequences (CDSs), and 6398 possible
