Genome-wide characterization of MATE gene family and expression profiles in response to abiotic stresses in rice (Oryza sativa)
Multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) proteins are involved in many physiological functions of plant growth and development. Although an increasing number of MATE proteins have been identified, the understanding of MATE proteins is still very limited in rice. In this study, 46 MATE proteins...

Summary: | Multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) proteins are involved in many physiological functions of plant growth and development. Although an increasing number of MATE proteins have been identified, the understanding of MATE proteins is still very limited in rice. In this study, 46 MATE proteins were identified from the rice (
Oryza sativa
) genome by homology searches and domain prediction. The rice MATE family was divided into four subfamilies based on the phylogenetic tree. Tandem repeats and fragment replication contribute to the expansion of the rice
MATE
gene family. Gene structure and
cis
-regulatory elements reveal the potential functions of
MATE
genes. Analysis of gene expression showed that most of
MATE
genes were constitutively expressed and the expression patterns of genes in different tissues were analyzed using RNA-seq. Furthermore, qRT-PCR-based analysis showed differential expression patterns in response to salt and drought stress. The analysis results of this study provide comprehensive information on the
MATE
gene family in rice and will aid in understanding the functional divergence of
MATE
genes. |
