Genome-wide identification, characterization, and expression analysis of aluminum-activated malate transporter genes (ALMTs) in Gossypium hirsutum L.

Aluminum-activated malate transporters (ALMT) are widely involved in plant growth and metabolic processes, including adaptation to acid soils, guard cell regulation, anion homeostasis, seed development. Although ALMT genes have been identified Arabidopsis, wheat, barley, Lotus japonicus, little is known about its presence Gossypium hirsutum L. In this study, gene recognition diploid tetraploid cotton were done using bioinformatics analysis that examined correlation between homology evolution. Differentially regulated genetic profile G. was examined, RNA sequencing qRT-PCR, during six fiber developmental time-points, namely 5 d, 7 10 15 20 25 d. We detected 36 hirsutum, which subsequently annotated divided into seven sub-categories. Among these genes, 34 had uneven distribution across 14/26 chromosomes. Conserved domains structure indicated highly conserved composed of exons introns. The GhALMT expression at different DPA (days post anthesis) varieties indicative a crucial role development hirsutum. This study provides basis for advancements the cloning functional enhancements enhancing augmenting high quality crop production.
