Hainan's unique climate significantly contributes to soil acidification, causing phosphorus fixation into insoluble compounds, leading to phosphorus deficiency and reduced yield in sweet potatoes. The family, a group of trans-membrane phosphate transporters, is crucial for phosphate transport, distribution, and homeostasis regulation. Two genes, and , were first identified in sweet potato, and a phylogenetic analysis of 46 species showed high conservation of the gene family throughout plant evolution.

Previous studies have shown that play an important role in plant responses to abiotic stresses. In the present study, 34, 32, 16, and 17 were identified in , , , and , respectively.

Background: Plants suffer from various abiotic stresses during their lifetime, of which drought and salt stresses are two main factors limiting crop yield and quality. Previous studies have shown that abscisic acid (ABA) responsive element binding protein (AREB)/ ABRE binding factors (ABFs) in bZIP transcription factors are involved in plant stress response in an ABA-dependent manner. However, little is known about the properties and functions of AREB/ABFs, especially ABF3, in cotton.

Development and utilization of tolerant varieties is the most economical way to address soil salinity. Upland cotton is a major fiber crop and pioneer plant on saline soil and thus its genetic architecture underlying salt tolerance should be extensively explored.
