Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Profiling of Potassium Transport-Related Genes in Vigna radiata under Abiotic Stresses.

ABSTRACT: Potassium (K⁺) is one of the most important cations that plays a significant role in plants and constitutes up to 10% of plants' dry weight. Plants exhibit complex systems of transporters and channels for the distribution of K⁺ from soil to numerous parts of plants. In this study, we have identified 39 genes encoding putative K⁺ transport-related genes in Vigna radiata. Chromosomal mapping of these genes indicated an uneven distribution across eight out of 11 chromosomes. Comparative phylogenetic analysis of different plant species, i.e., V. radiata, Glycine max, Cicer arietinum, Oryza sativa, and Arabidopsis thaliana, showed their strong conservation in different plant species. Evolutionary analysis of these genes
