Genome-wide identification and analysis of LEA_2 gene family in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) under aluminum stress.

ABSTRACT: Late embryonic development abundant proteins (LEAs) are a large family of proteins commonly existing in plants. LEA_2 is the largest subfamily in the LEA, it plays an important role in plant resistance to abiotic stress. In order to explore the characteristics of LEA_2 gene family members in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), 155 members of LEA_2 (MsLEA_2) family were identified from alfalfa genome. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted from the aspects of phylogenetic relationship, chromosome distribution, chromosome colinearity, physical and chemical properties, motif composition, exon-intron structure, cis-element and so on. Expression profiles of MsLEA_2 gene were obtained based on Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis and previo
