Identification and expression analysis of xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) family in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.).

ABSTRACT: Xyloglucan endotransglucosylases/hydrolases (XTH) are key enzymes in cell wall reformulation. They have the dual functions of catalyzing xyloglucan endotransglucosylase (XET) and xyloglucan endonuclease (XEH) activity and play a crucial role in the responses against abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and freezing. However, a comprehensive analysis of the XTH family and its functions in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) has not yet been completed. In this study, 34 XTHs were identified in the whole grapevine genome and then named according to their distribution on chromosomes. Based on a phylogenetic analysis including Arabidopsis XTHs, the VvXTHs were classified into three groups. Cis-element analysis indicated that these family members are r
