Systematic analysis of Prx genes in the Brachypodium genus and their expression pattern under abiotic constraints.

Peroxiredoxins (Prx) are ubiquitous peroxidases required for the removal of excess free radicals produced under stress conditions. Peroxiredoxin genes (Prx) in the Brachypodium genus were identified using bioinformatics tools and their expression profiles were determined under abiotic stress using RT-qPCR. The promoter regions of Prx genes contain several cis-acting elements related to stress response.

Comprehensive identification, evolutionary patterns and the divergent response of genes in under biotic and abiotic interactions.

Unlabelled: Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are novel cysteine-based peroxidases which are involved in protecting cells from oxidative damage by catalyzing the reduction of different peroxides. The present study addressed, for the first time, genome-wide identification, evolutionary patterns and expression dynamics of gene family (). Nine Prx proteins were identified in based on homology searches.

Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression analysis of glutaredoxin gene family (Grxs) in Phaseolus vulgaris.

Glutaredoxins (Grxs) are ubiquitous oxidoreductase proteins implicated in development and abiotic stress response mainly through maintaining redox homoeostasis. Here, we conducted the first systematic analysis of the Grx gene family (PvGrx) in the most popular legume Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean). A total of 50 PvGrx genes were identified, and divided into four classes (CC-type, CGFS-type, CPYC-type and Grl-type) based on the phylogenetic analysis.

Exogenous application of spermidine mitigates the adverse effects of drought stress in faba bean ( L.).

In Tunisia, drought stress is a major environmental factor limiting crop production and causing relatively low and unstable faba bean yields. In the present study, we explored the putative role of spermidine (0.5, 1, 1.
