AI Article Synopsis

  • Actin proteins are vital for plant structure and cellular processes, with 69 unique actin genes identified in the study, classified into six subfamilies based on their evolutionary relationships.
  • Functional analysis revealed that these genes contribute to cell shape, cytoplasmic movement, plant growth, and adaptation to environmental stressors, with notable expression increases under abiotic stress.
  • The research highlights the potential impact of specific actin genes on important agricultural traits, paving the way for future studies aimed at improving plant varieties.

Article Abstract

ACTINs are key structural proteins in plants, which form the actin cytoskeleton and are engaged in numerous routine cellular processes. Meanwhile, , recognized as a housekeeping gene, has not yet been thoroughly investigated in . The current research has led to the detection of 69 actin genes in , which were organized into six distinct subfamilies on the basis of phylogenetic relationships. Functional enrichment analysis, along with the construction of protein interaction networks, suggested that s play roles in Preserving cell morphology and facilitating cytoplasmic movement, plant development, and adaptive responses to environmental stress. Moreover, the genes presented a wide range of expression levels among different tissues, whereas the majority experienced a substantial increase in expression when subjected to various abiotic stresses, demonstrating a pronounced sensitivity to abiotic factors. Furthermore, association mapping analysis indicated that some s potentially affected certain key agronomic traits. Overall, our research deepens the knowledge of genes, promotes the cultivation of improved strains, and lays the groundwork for subsequent functional research.
