Genome-wide characterization of the SHORT INTER-NODES/STYLISH and Shi-Related Sequence family in Gossypium hirsutum and functional identification of GhSRS21 under salt stress.

ABSTRACT: Saline stress is a significant factor that caused crop growth inhibition and yield decline. SHORT INTERNODES/STYLISH (SHI/STY) and SHI-RELATED SEQUENCE (SRS) transcription factors are specific to plants and share a conserved RING-like zinc-finger domain (CX₂CX₇CX₄CX₂C₂X₆C). However, the functions of SHI/STY and SRS genes in cotton responses to salt stress remain unclear. In this study, 26 GhSRSs were identified in Gossypium hirsutum, which further divided into three subgroups. Phylogenetic analysis of 88 SRSs from8 plant species revealed independent evolutionary pattern in some of SRSs derived from monocots. Conserved domain and subcellular location predication of GhSRSs sugge
