The DUF221 domain-containing (DDP) genes identification and expression analysis in tomato under abiotic and phytohormone stress.

ABSTRACT: The domain of unknown function (DUF221 domain-containing) proteins regulates various aspects of plant growth, development, responses to abiotic stresses, and hormone transduction pathways. To understand the role of DDP proteins in tomato, a comprehensive genome-wide analysis was performed in the tomato genome. A total of 12 DDP genes were identified and distributed in 8 chromosomes in the tomato genome. Phylogenetically all SlDDPs were clustered into four clades, subsequently supported by their gene structure and conserved motifs distribution. The SlDDPs contained various cis-acting elements involved in plant responses to abiotic and various phytohormones stresses. The tissue-specific expression profile analysis revealed the constitutive expression of SlDDPs in roots, leaves, and de
