Abstract:Background
The 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase (OPR) enzyme is crucial for the synthesis of jasmonates (JAs) and is involved in the plant stress response. However, the OPR gene family in sweetpotato, an important horticultural crop, remains unidentified.
Results
In this study, we employed bioinformatics techniques to identify nine IbOPR genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these genes could be divided into Group I and Group II. Synteny analysis indicated that IbOPR evolution was driven by tandem dup… Show more
