Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Profile of OSCA Gene Family Members in Triticum aestivum L.

ABSTRACT: Hyperosmolality and various other stimuli can trigger an increase in cytoplasmic-free calcium concentration ([Ca²⁺]_cyt). Members of the Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) reduced hyperosmolality-gated calcium-permeable channels (OSCA) gene family are reported to be involved in sensing extracellular changes to trigger hyperosmolality-induced [Ca²⁺]_cyt increases and controlling stomatal closure during immune signaling. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a very important food crop, but there are few studies of its OSCA gene family members. In this study, 42 OSCA members were identified in the wheat genome, and phylogenetic analysis can divide them into four clades. The members of each clade have similar gene structures,
