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. date: 2022 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: https://eprints.uet.vnu.edu.vn/eprints/id/eprint/4713/2/GENE146210.pdf identifier: La, Viet Hong and Chu, Duc Ha and Tran, Duy Cuong and Kien, Huu Nguyen and Le, Thi Ngoc Quynh and Le, Thi Hien and Cao, Phi Bang and Nguyen, Duc Bach and Nguyen, Quoc Trung and Lê, Huy Hàm and Tran, Phan Lam Son and Nguyen, Van Loc and Pham, Cong Tuyen Anh and Ha, Van Chien and Hoang, Minh Chinh and Le, Duc Thao (2022) Insights into the gene and protein structures of the CaSWEET family members in chickpea (Cicer arietinum), and their gene expression patterns in different organs under various stress and abscisic acid treatments.
