Identification of HQT gene family and their potential function in CGA synthesis and abiotic stresses tolerance in vegetable sweet potato

A comprehensive overview of omics-based approaches to enhance biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in sweet potato

“…The comparative genome-wide study was performed between four Ipomoea species to evaluate valine glutamine motif-containing genes and found 40 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) referring to various abiotic stresses [ 26 ]. The other genome-wide studies in different Ipomoea species were conducted for important TF families such as NAC ( NAM , ATAF , and CUC ) TFs family [ 27 ], hydroxycinnamate-CoA quinate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase gene family [ 28 ], DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) TF family [ 29 ], myeloblastosis (MYB) gene family [ 30 ], phytochrome-interacting factors [ 25 ], domain of unknown function gene family [ 31 ], two-component system genes [ 32 ], xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase gene family [ 33 ], expansin gene family [ 34 ], glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins [ 35 ], WRKY TFs family [ 36 ], zinc-finger domain-containing stress-associated proteins [ 37 ], plant-specific GRAS TFs [ 38 ], APETALA2/ethylene responsive factor (AP2/ERF) TFs family [ 38 ], jasmonate-ZIM (JAZ) TF family [ 39 ], and bZIP TF family [ 10 ]. These studies provide new insights for understanding the different TFs families-mediated stress responses and lays the foundation for future functional investigation of sweet potato TFs families.…”
