However, no information is available yet for the CaSWEET family in chickpea. Here, we identified all putative CaSWEET members in chickpea, and obtained their major characteristics, including physicochemical patterns, chromosomal distribution, subcellular localization, gene organization, conserved motifs and three-dimensional protein structures. Subsequently, we explored available transcriptome data to compare spatiotemporal transcript abundance of CaSWEET genes in various major organs. Finally, we studied the changes in their transcript levels in leaves and/or roots following dehydration and exogenous abscisic acid treatments using RT-qPCR to obtain valuable information underlying their potential roles in chickpea responses to water-stress conditions. Our results provide the first insights into the characteristics of the CaSWEET family members and a foundation for further functional characterizations of selected candidate genes for genetic engineering of chickpea.Viet Hong Lalaviethong.sp2@gmail.comDuc Ha Chucd.ha@vnu.edu.vnDuy Cuong TranHuu Nguyen KienThi Ngoc Quynh LeThi Hien Lelehien@vnu.edu.vnPhi Bang CaoDuc Bach NguyenQuoc Trung NguyenHuy Hàm Lêlhham@agi.ac.vnPhan Lam Son TranVan Loc Nguyennvloc@vnua.edu.vnCong Tuyen Anh PhamVan Chien HaMinh Chinh HoangDuc Thao Le
