Comprehensive Analysis of Major Latex-Like Protein Family Genes in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and Their Potential Roles in Phytophthora Blight Resistance.

ABSTRACT: Major latex-like proteins (MLPs) play crucial roles in abiotic and biotic stresses. However, little was known about this gene family in cucumbers. In this study, a total of 37 putative cucumber MLP genes were identified on a genome-wide level and classified into three groups by sequence homologous comparison with Arabidopsis thaliana. Chromosome mapping suggested that only tandem duplication occurred in evolution. The multiple regulatory cis-elements related to stress, hormone, light and growth response were found in the promoter region of these CsMLP genes, indicating that CsMLPs might be widely involved in the process of plant growth, development and various stress conditions. Transcriptome analysis indicated a strong reprogramming of MLPs expres
