Genome-wide identification of SHMT family genes in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and functional analyses of CsSHMTs in response to hormones and abiotic stresses.

ABSTRACT: Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that plays crucial roles in the photorespiration and one-carbon metabolism of plants. In the present research, we conducted a systematic analysis of the SHMT gene family in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L). Results show that a total of 6 SHMT members were identified from the cucumber genome database. CsSHMT1 and CsSHMT2 participate in a fragment duplication event, indicating that CsSHMTs may complete the expansion of family members through fragment duplication. Gene structure analysis found that the number of exons of CsSHMTs ranges from 4 to 15. Members with the same number of exons are classified into the same class in the phylogenetic analysis. Each class reflect
