The JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) repressors are crucial proteins in the jasmonic acid signaling pathway that play a significant role in plant growth, development and response to abiotic stress (such as drought, heat, salinity, and low temperature). In this study, we identified 26 potato genes and classified the corresponding predicted proteins into five subfamilies. All potato JAZ proteins exhibited the expected conserved TIFY (TIF[F/Y] XG) and JAZ domains.

Glutathione S-transferases () play crucial roles in crop stress tolerance through protection against oxidative damage. In this study, we conducted genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the gene family in the autotetraploid potato cultivar Cooperative-88 (C88) using bioinformatic approaches. We identified 366 genes in the potato genome, which were classified into 10 subfamilies.

O-acetylserine (thiol) lyase is a pivotal enzyme in plant cysteine biosynthesis, which is crucial for promoting plant growth, development, and resisting abiotic stress. However, the related studies on the potato OASTL gene family (StOASTL) have not been reported. In the present study, we identified 11 members of the StOASTL gene family, conducting a thorough analysis encompassing chromosome distribution, protein physicochemical properties, gene structure, protein-conserved motifs, and gene replication events.

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs), which are activated by transient changes in the Ca concentration in plants, are important for various biological processes, such as growth, development, defense against biotic and abiotic stresses, and others. Mannitol is commonly used as an osmotic regulatory substance in culture medium or nutrient solutions to create water-deficit conditions. Here, we cloned the potato ( L.

PYR/PYL/RCAR proteins are abscisic acid (ABA) receptors that play a crucial role in plant responses to abiotic stresses. However, there have been no research reports on potato PYL so far. In this study, a potato gene named was identified based on transcriptome data under drought stress.

Currently, the widely used active form of plant elicitor peptide 1 (PEP1) from is composed of 23 amino acids, hereafter AtPEP1, serving as an immune elicitor. The relatively less conserved N-terminal region in AtPEP family indicates that the amino acids in this region may be unrelated to the function and activity of AtPEP peptides. Consequently, we conducted an investigation to determine the necessity of the nonconserved amino acids in AtPEP1 peptide for its functional properties.

(1) Background: Potato is the most important tuber crop in the world that can contribute to food security. However, the crop has been shown to be sensitive to drought and its yields decline significantly during successive periods of stress. Drought triggers a number of responses in potato, ranging from physiological changes to fluctuations in growth rates and yields.

However, there have been no studies on the RING-HC gene family in potato. In this study, 77 putative s were identified in the potato genome and grouped into three clusters based on phylogenetic relationships, the chromosome distribution, gene structure, conserved motif, gene duplication events, and synteny relationships, and -acting elements were systematically analyzed.

Drought stress is a major threat to sustainable crop production worldwide. Despite the positive role of calcium (Ca) in improving plant drought tolerance in different crops, little attention has been paid to its role in mitigating drought stress in potatoes. In the present study, we studied the effect of foliar chelated sugar alcohol calcium treatments on two potato cultivars with different drought responses applied 15 and 30 days after limiting soil moisture.

Although it has been reported in some plants, the evolutionary relationship of potato SnRK2s and their function in drought resistance have not been systematically analyzed. In this study, molecular characteristic analysis showed that 8 StSnRK2s were distributed on six chromosomes, coding proteins were divided into three subgroups, and StSnRK2s clustered in the same subgroup had similar conserved motifs and domains.

Crop growth and development are frequently affected by biotic and abiotic stresses. The adaptation of crops to stress is mostly achieved by regulating specific genes. The root system is the primary organ for nutrient and water uptake, and has an important role in drought stress response.
