Amino Acid Transporter (AAT) Gene Family in Foxtail Millet (Setaria Italica L.): Widespread Family Expansion, Functional Differentiation, Roles in Quality Formation and Response to Abiotic Stresses
Abstract:Background: Amino acid transporters (AATs) plays an essential roles in growth and development of plants, including amino acids long-range transport, seed germination, quality formation, responsiveness to pathogenic bacteria and abiotic stress by modulating the transmembrane transfer of amino acids. In this study, we performed a genome-wide screening to analyze the AAT genes in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.), especially those associated with quality formation and abiotic stresses response.Results: A total … Show more
