Identification and Expression Analysis of Sulfate Transporter Family Members in Cucumber
Sulfur is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development, and sulfate transporter (SULTR) plays key roles in sulfate (SO42-) uptake and transport in higher plants. In this study, 10 SULTR genes (CsaSULTR1;1~CsaSULTR4;1) were identified in cucumber. Phylogenetic analysis showed that SULTRs from cucumber and Arabidopsis could be divided into four groups (GROUP 1~4). Most CsaSULTR genes contained 9~12 introns, and closely related members shared similar gene structures. Promoter analysis revealed that?CsaSULTR genes may be involved in responses to hormones and environmental stress.?Expression profiling analysis by RNA-seq indicated that CsaSULTR genes have distinct expression patterns in different tissues, and some of them had significantly changed expression in response to downy mildew infection. Our results provide a better understanding for further functional analysis of CsSULTR?genes in cucumber.
