Genome-wide investigation and expression profiles of the NPF gene family provide insight into the abiotic stress resistance of Gossypium hirsutum.

ABSTRACT: Membrane transporters encoded by NITRATE TRANSPORTER 1/PEPTIDE TRANSPORTER (NPF) genes, which play crucial roles in plant growth, development and resistance to various stresses, are involved in the transport of nitrate (NO₃ ^-) and peptides. In several plant species, NPF genes are involved in the resistance to abiotic stresses; however, whether the whole NPF gene family in cotton contributes to this resistance has not been systematically investigated. Here, 201 genes encoding NPF proteins with a peptide transporter (PTR) domain were confirmed in three different Gossypium species, namely, Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium raimondii. The NPF proteins in these three Gossypium species
