Biotic and abiotic stresses negatively affect fitness, biomass production, and crop yield in plants. The dehydration-responsive element-binding proteins () are important transcription factors (TFs), and are induced by abiotic and biotic stresses. In this study, genome-wide identification, in silico sequence, and phylogenetic analyses and expression analyses of genes under cadmium (Cd) and salt (NaCl) stresses in sorghum (, ) were performed.

In this study, we conducted a genome-wide analysis of sulfate transporter genes (SULTRs) in the sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) genome and examined expression profiles of SbSULTR genes under 200 µM cadmium (Cd) exposure.
