Genome-Wide Characterization, Evolution, and Expression Profiling of Gene Family in Response to Phytohormone Treatments and Abiotic Stress in .

genes play important roles in plant development, growth, and stress responses. However, little information regarding the functions of genes is available for . In our study, genome-wide characterization and identification of genes were performed in . Results showed that 27 genes, which divided into seven sub-families (I-VII), were found, and all but two genes showed no intron by gene structure and conserved motif analysis. To further identify the function of EgrVQ proteins, gene expression analyses were also developed under hormone treatments (brassinosteroids, methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, and abscisic acid) and abiotic conditions (salt stress, cold 4 °C, and heat 42 °C). The results of a quantitative real-time PCR analysis indicated that the were variously expressed under different hormone treatments and abiotic stressors. Our study provides a comprehensive overview of genes in , which will be beneficial in the molecular breeding of to promote its resistance to abiotic stressors; the results also provide a basis from which to conduct further investigation into the functions of genes in .
