Genome-wide identification of XTH genes in Liriodendron chinense and functional characterization of LcXTH21.

ABSTRACT: Liriodendron chinense is a relic tree species of the family Magnoliaceae with multiple uses in timber production, landscape decoration, and afforestation. L. chinense often experiences drought stress in arid areas. However, the molecular basis underlying the drought response of L. chinense remains unclear. Many studies have reported that the xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) family plays an important role in drought stress resistance. Hereby, to explore the drought resistance mechanism of L. chinense, we identify XTH genes on a genome-wide scale in L. chinense. A total of 27 XTH genes were identified in L. chinense, and these genes were classified into three subfamilies. Drought treatment and RT-qPCR analysis reve
