Article Synopsis
- * The study found that the Ka/Ks ratio for the ATAF subfamily is less than 1, indicating that these genes are under negative selection, and only maize showed significant expansion among 12 analyzed plants.
- * ScATAF1 gene, which is highly expressed in various tissues, may play a role in mediating plant responses to stresses like low temperatures and pathogens, with evidence suggesting it could negatively regulate hypersensitive reactions through signaling pathways involving ROS, JA
Wall-associated kinase (WAK) is widely involved in signal transduction, reproductive growth, responses to pathogen infection and metal ion stress in plants. In this study, 19, 12, and 37 SsWAK genes were identified in Saccharum spontaneum, Saccharum hybrid and Sorghum bicolor, respectively. Phylogenetic tree showed that they could be divided into three groups.

- The study focuses on the Gretchen Hagen3 (GH3) gene family in wild sugarcane, identifying 41 members across 19 chromosomes, and highlights their roles in hormone homeostasis and response to biotic stresses.* -
- The research indicates that segmental duplication and polyploidization have contributed to the increased number of GH3 genes, and most show conserved structures with various regulatory elements in their promoters.* -
- Findings reveal that these genes are differentially expressed under stress conditions, and a specific GH3 homolog encourages a negative regulatory response to pathogen infection, establishing a basis for further understanding of disease resistance in transgenic sugarcane.*
Sugarcane ( spp.) is an important sugar and energy crop worldwide. As a core regulator of the salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway, nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 () plays a significant role in the response of the plant to biotic and abiotic stresses.
