Genome-Wide Identification of Wild Soybean Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Family Genes and Their Responses to Cold and Carbonate Alkaline Stresses.

ABSTRACT: The mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), as an important component of the Ca²⁺ channel uniporter complex, plays a regulatory role in intracellular Ca²⁺ signal transduction. However, only a few studies to date have investigated plant MCU genes. In this study, we identified the MCU family genes in wild soybean and investigated their expression under cold and carbonate alkaline stresses. Eleven Glycine soja MCU genes (GsMCUs) were identified and clustered into two subgroups (subgroups I and II), and subgroup II could be further divided into two branches (MCU5 and MCU6). A total of 21 pairs of GsMCUs were characterized as duplicated genes, and displayed a similar exon-intron architecture. All GsMCU proteins contained one conserved MCU domain, within
