Genome-Wide Identification, Genomic Organization, and Characterization of Potassium Transport-Related Genes in Cajanus cajan and Their Role in Abiotic Stress.

ABSTRACT: Potassium is the most important and abundant inorganic cation in plants and it can comprise up to 10% of a plant's dry weight. Plants possess complex systems of transporters and channels for the transport of K⁺ from soil to numerous parts of plants. Cajanus cajan is cultivated in different regions of the world as an economical source of carbohydrates, fiber, proteins, and fodder for animals. In the current study, 39 K⁺ transport genes were identified in C. cajan, including 25 K⁺ transporters (17 carrier-like K⁺ transporters (KUP/HAK/KTs), 2 high-affinity potassium transporters (HKTs), and 6 K⁺ efflux transporters (KEAs) and 14 K⁺ channels (9 shakers and 5 tandem-pore K⁺ channels (TPKs).
