Genome-Wide Identification of the SAMS Gene Family in Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and Expression Analysis in Drought Stress Treatments.

ABSTRACT: Cotton is an important commercial crop whose growth and yield are severely affected by drought. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is widely involved in the plant stress response and growth regulation; however, the role of the S-adenosylmethionine synthase (SAMS) gene family in this process is poorly understood. Here, we systematically analyzed the expression of SAMS genes in Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). A total of 16 SAMS genes were identified, each with a similar predicted structure. A large number of cis-acting elements involved in the response to abiotic stress were predicted based on promoter analysis, indicating a likely important role in abiotic stress responses. The results of qRT-PCR validation showed that GhSAMS genes had different expression
