Comparative genomics reveals the molecular mechanism of salt adaptation for zoysiagrasses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) is a warm-season turfgrass. It is widely used as turfgrasses throughout the world, offers good turf qualities, including salt tolerance, resistance to drought and heat. However, the underlying genetic mechanism of zoysiagrass responsive to salt stress remains largely unexplored.

Results

In present study, we performed a whole-genome comparative analysis for ten plant genomes. Evolutionary analysis revealed that Chloridoideae diverged from Panicoideae approximately 33.7 million years ago (Mya), and the phylogenetic relationship among three zoysiagrasses species suggested that Zoysia matrella may represent an interspecific hybrid between Zoysia japonica and Zoysia pacifica. Genomic synteny indicated that Zoysia underwent a genus-specific who
