Systematic and functional analysis of non-specific lipid transfer protein family genes in sugarcane under Xanthomonas albilineans infection and salicylic acid treatment.

ABSTRACT: Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are small basic proteins that play a significant regulatory role in a wide range of physiological processes. To date, no genome-wide survey and expression analysis of this gene family in sugarcane has been performed. In this study we identified the nsLTP gene family in Saccharum spontaneum and carried out expression profiling of nsLTPs in two sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp.) that have different resistance to leaf scald caused by Xanthomonas albilineans (Xa) infection. The effect of stress related to exogenous salicylic acid (SA) treatment was also examined. At a genome-wide level, S. spontaneum AP85-441 had 71 SsnsLTP genes including 66 alleles. Tandem (9 gene pairs) and segmental (36 g
