Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of GATA Gene Family in Under Methyl Jasmonate and Salt Stress.

which was rich in bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, alkaloids, amino acids, and flavonoids, had significant medicinal value and ability to resist stresses. Studies had demonstrated that genes were one of the crucial regulators in controlling plant development and growth and stress response. Genome-wide identification and characterization of the 18 genes were displayed. According to phylogenetic relationships, the family genes were divided into 4 groups and the conserved motifs of - within the same group were similar. All genes were localized in the nucleus and randomly mapped on 10 chromosomes. The GATA genes in experienced one pair of tandem duplication and 4 pairs of segment duplications to expand the family genes. Additionally, we found that the 2000 bp upstream promoter region of the genes harbored 23 types of -acting elements that were categorized into plant growth and development, phytohormone responsiveness, and stress responsiveness. - were diversely expressed across different tissues (root, leaf, stem, flower), exposed to salt stress, and following MeJA treatment. Co-expression analysis between and enzyme-encoding genes involved in the biosynthesis of flavone showed that (LOC110104562) and (LOC110098370) may be potential downstream targets of to regulate flavonoid biosynthesis to adapt to salt stress. Furthermore, we confirmed that may act as a key member to resist stress. The collective findings of this study shed light on the function of genes and molecular breeding of .
