GDSL-type esterase/lipase protein (GELP) genes are crucial in the specialized lipid metabolism, in the responses to abiotic stresses, and in the regulation of plant homeostasis. R. communis is an important oilseed crop species that can sustain growth and productivity when exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Herein, we raised the question of whether the GELP gene family could be involved in the acquisition of R. communis tolerance to abiotic stresses during seed germination and seedling establishment. Thus, we used bioinformatics and transcriptomics to characterize the R. communis GELP gene family. R. communis genome possesses 96 GELP genes that were characterized by extensive bioinformatics, including phylogenetic analysis, subcellular localization, exon-intron distribution, the analysis of regulatory cis-elements, tandem duplication, and physicochemical properties. Transcriptomics indicated that numerous RcGELP genes are readily responsive to high-temperature and salt stresses and might be potential candidates for genome editing techniques to develop abiotic stress-tolerant crops.

Chickpea, renowned for its exceptional nutritional value, stands as a crucial crop, serving as a dietary staple in various parts of the world. However, its productivity faces a significant challenge in the form of drought stress. This challenge highlights the urgent need to find genetic markers linked to drought tolerance for effective breeding programs.

Background: GDSL esterase/lipases (GELPs) play important roles in plant growth, development, and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Presently, an extensive and in-depth analysis of GELP family genes in cotton is still not clear enough, which greatly limits the further understanding of cotton GELP function and regulatory mechanism.
Results: A total of 389 GELP family genes were identified in three cotton species of Gossypium hirsutum (193), G.

In plants, the ability to produce hydrophobic substances that would provide protection from dehydration was required for the transition to land. This genome-wide investigation outlines the evolution of GDSL-type esterase/lipase (GELP) proteins in the moss Physcomitrium patens and suggests possible functions of some genes. GELP proteins play roles in the formation of hydrophobic polymers such as cutin and suberin that protect against dehydration and pathogen attack.

The Gly-Asp-Ser-Leu (GDSL)-type esterase/lipase proteins (GELP) are one of the most important families of lipolytic enzymes and play prominent roles in seed germination and early seedling establishment through mobilizing the lipids stored in seeds. However, there are no comprehensive studies systematically investigating the gene family in (), and their biological significance to these physiological processes are far from understood. In the present study, a total of 240 genes were identified in cultivar "Zhongshuang 11" (ZS11), which is nearly 2.
