Genome-wide identification of the rubber tree superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene family and analysis of its expression under abiotic stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the only species capable of producing high-quality natural rubber for commercial use, and is often subjected to various abiotic stresses in non-traditional rubber plantation areas. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a vital metalloenzyme translated by a SOD gene family member and acts as a first-line of protection in plant cells by catalysing the disproportionation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to produce H₂O₂ and O₂. However, the SOD gene family is not reported in rubber trees.

Methods

Here, we used hidden markov model (HMM) and BLASTP methods to identify SOD genes in the H. brasiliensis genome. Phylogenetic tree, conserved motifs, gene structures, cis elements, and
