GATA-binding factor (GATA) proteins are the transcription factor (TF) family that are commonly involved in plant growth and development. The GATA TF family has been successfully identified and characterized for various higher plant species, but there is little research on the GATA TF family in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa). In this present study, a total of 32 CqGATA genes were identified and analyzed in the quinoa genome. While the general features of the CqGATA TFs in quinoa were slightly variable, the majority of genes encoding the CqGATA TFs contained two and three exons. Our phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the CqGATA TFs could be classified into four different groups. Gene expression analysis indicated that the expression profiles of the CqGATA genes varied in different tissues. Overall, our study could provide a reference for further functional characterization of the CqGATA genes in quinoa.

Plant trehalose has been regarded to play a key role in various biological processes during the growth and development stages. Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP) are two important enzymes for the synthesis of plant trehalose. Up till now, the TPS and TPP gene families have been identified and characterized in numerous higher plant species, but are rarely recorded in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea). In this study, a comprehensive search was performed to identify all putative TPS and TPP proteins in the peanut genome using Arabidopsis TPS and TPP proteins as queries. We then analyzed the characteristics of TPS and TPP members, including physic-chemical parameters, subcellular localization, phylogeny relationships, gene duplication, and expression patterns by various computational tools. As a result, a total of 17 ArahyTPS and 15 ArahyTPP genes were identified and annotated in the peanut genome, which was expanded by segmental duplication events. Our Neighbor-Joining based phylogenetic tree indicated that the ArahyTPS and ArahyTPP proteins could be categorized into three and two major branches. Gene structures and protein features analysis exhibited that the ArahyTPS and ArahyTPP proteins shared high structural and functional similarities. Based on previous RNA-Seq datasets, a majority of the ArahyTPS and ArahyTPP genes were found to specifically express in at least one major organ/tissue during the growth and development. This work will not only lead to a solid foundation on reveal the potential roles of ArahyTPS and ArahyTPP gene families in peanuts but also provide evidence to related trehalose research in other higher plant species.

Heat shock transcription factors (Hsf-s) have been considered one of the major regulatory proteins that play important roles in various biological processes during the growth and development of plants. Unfortunately, no comprehensive studies of the Hsf family in papaya (Carica papaya), a popular tropical fruit crop, have been performed, even the papaya genome assembly has been released recently. In this study, a total of 18 members of the Hsf family, namely CpHsf-s have been identified in papaya. Based on various computational tools, a systematic characterization of the CpHsf family, such as gene structure, physic-chemical features, categorization, and protein-protein interaction, has been conducted. We found that the physic-chemical properties of the CpHsf proteins were highly variable, while all proteins were hydrophilic and localized in the nucleus. Our classification indicated that the CpHsf proteins could be categorized into three groups, including HsfA, HsfB, and HsfC, and members in the same clade share similar gene structure. According to the previous RNA-Seq datasets, our re-analysis revealed that the CpHsf genes exhibited different expressions in various major organs or tissues during fruit ripening and under the ultra-low temperature stress. Taken together, our study could provide a list of candidate genes for further functional characterization towards the improvement of stress tolerance in papaya.

GATA transcription factors (TFs) play critical roles in regulating various physiological and biochemical processes in plants. However, their functions in grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) remain unexplored. This study identified and characterized 23 GATA TFs (AhGATAs) in grain amaranth through genome-wide bioinformatics analysis. The gene structure, gene duplication, phylogenetic analysis, and protein features were performed. As a result, the AhGATA TF family in grain amaranth exhibited diverse gene structures, including variations in exon-intron organization, with the number of exons ranging from one to eleven. We also found that the AhGATA TF family in grain amaranth could be grouped into four different clades as similar to other higher plant species. Next, the recent RNA-Seq dataset was explored to re-analyze the transcriptional changes of the AhGATA genes in several main organs during the growth and development of grain amaranth plants. We proposed four AhGATA genes, including AhGATA01, 05, 13, and 19, which were exclusively expressed in at least one major organ, such as stems, roots, leaves, maturing seeds, flowers, immature seeds, and green cotyledons. In summary, this current study could provide the basis for further exploration of the GATA gene family functions in plants and enhance our understanding of cellular regulation in plant defense mechanisms.

This study investigates the phospholipase A (PLA) superfamily in cocoa (Theobroma cacao), providing a comprehensive analysis of its genomic organization, structural diversity, and functional roles. A total of 19 PLA1 and 20 PLA2 genes were identified, with detailed assessments of their chromosomal locations, protein properties, and exon-intron structures. Phylogenetic analysis established evolutionary relationships with PLA proteins from other species, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and rice (Oryza sativa). Of our interest, transcriptomic profiling under biotic stress caused by Phytophthora megakarya infection and during embryo development revealed distinct expression patterns, demonstrating the involvement of PLA genes in stress responses and key developmental processes. Taken together, these findings provide valuable insights into the roles of PLA genes in cacao biology and offer a foundation for future applications to improve cacao’s resilience and productivity through genetic and biotechnological strategies.

Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are a vital enzyme superfamily involved in cellular detoxification, metabolism, and stress responses in plants. Despite their known roles in various species, a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the ALDH gene superfamily in cassava (Manihot esculenta), a key drought-tolerant crop, remains limited. This study systematically identified and characterized 29 ALDHs in the cassava genome, classifying them into distinct families based on sequence similarity and phylogenetic relationships. Structural and physicochemical analysis revealed notable variations in gene length, exon-intron organization, and protein properties, indicating functional diversity within the family. Of our interest, expression profiling across 11 different organs/tissues showed that several ALDHs exhibit tissue-specific expression patterns, suggesting their potential roles in diverse physiological processes. Moreover, transcriptomic analysis under drought stress conditions revealed significant changes in ALDH gene expression, with specific members being strongly up-regulated and down-regulated, implying their involvement in drought tolerance mechanisms. The findings provide new insights into the potential roles of ALDHs in cassava's ability to mitigate oxidative stress and enhance drought resilience. This study serves as a foundation for further functional characterization of ALDHs and offers valuable genetic resources for breeding programs aimed at improving cassava’s adaptation to environmental stresses. Understanding these genetic mechanisms will contribute to developing stress-resistant cultivars, ensuring sustainable cassava production in drought-prone regions.
