Cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels (CNGCs) are channel proteins for calcium ions, and have been reported to play important roles in regulating survival and environmental response of various plants. However, little is known about how the CNGC family works in . In this study, 173 CNGC genes, which were identified from two diploid and five tetraploid species, were classified into four groups by phylogenetic analysis. The collinearity results demonstrated that CNGC genes are integrally conservative among species, but four gene losses and three simple translocations were detected, which is beneficial to analyzing the evolution of CNGCs in . The various cis-acting regulatory elements in the CNGCs' upstream sequences revealed their possible functions in responding to multiple stimuli such as hormonal changes and abiotic stresses. In addition, expression levels of 14 CNGC genes changed significantly after being treated with various hormones. The findings in this study will contribute to understanding the function of the CNGC family in cotton, and lay a foundation for unraveling the molecular mechanism of cotton plants' response to hormonal changes.

Members of the cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNGC) proteins are reportedly involved in a variety of biotic and abiotic responses and stomatal movement. However, it is unknown if and how a single member could regulate multiple responses. Here we characterized three closely related CNGC genes in rice, OsCNGC14, OsCNGC15 and OsCNGC16, to determine whether they function in multiple abiotic stresses.

Plants need to adapt to fluctuating atmospheric humidity and respond to both high and low humidity. Despite our substantial understanding of plant responses to low humidity, molecular mechanisms underlying the high humidity (HH) response are much less well understood. In this study, we investigated early responses to HH in .

Melatonin plays a crucial role in regulating plant cold tolerance, but the mechanisms underlying signal transduction remain elusive. In this study, we discovered that overexpression of the melatonin biosynthetic gene caffeic acid O-methyltransferase1 (COMT1) enhanced watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) cold tolerance, accompanied by the accumulation of cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]cyt), a stimulation of Ca2+ influx, and upregulation of four Ca2+-permeable channel genes (CNGC2/10/17/20). Conversely, knockout of COMT1 exhibited contrasting effects compared to its overexpression.

The cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel (CNGC), as a non-selective cation channel, plays a pivotal role in plant growth and stress response. A systematic analysis and identification of the gene family in is crucial for uncovering its biological functions and potential applications in plant science. In this study, we identified 61 members in the genome, which are phylogenetically similar to and can be classified into Groups I-IV (with Group IV further subdivided into IV-a and IV-b).
