Differential Functions of Pepper Stress-Associated Proteins in Response to Abiotic Stresses.

ABSTRACT: Stress-associated proteins (SAPs), a group of zinc-finger-type proteins, have been identified as novel regulators of plant abiotic and biotic stresses. However, although they have been discovered in different plant species, their precise functional roles remain unclear. Here, we identified 14 SAP subfamily genes in the pepper genome. An investigation of the promoter regions of these genes for cis-regulatory elements associated with abiotic stress responses revealed the presence of multiple stress-related elements. Domain and phylogenetic analyses using the corresponding protein sequences revealed that the CaSAP genes can be classified into six groups (I-VI) and sorted into two broad types. Expression levels of the CaSAP genes were found to be differentially indu
