| Popis: | Valine-glutamine (VQ) genes play important roles in plant growth, development and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little is known regarding VQ gene characteristics in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). Here, 20 VQ genes were identified and classified into seven groups (I-VII) that are distributed among 11 chromosomes within the sunflower genome. Based on phylogenetic analyses, HaVQ genes that clustered within the same branches shared similar motifs and structures. Most HaVQ genes exhibited tissue-specific expression patterns suggesting putative roles in plant drought and salt stress responses, with several HaVQ proteins predicted to interact with HaWRKY proteins. The results of this study should enhance our knowledge regarding HaVQ genes and should guide future studies to explore the biological functions of HaVQ proteins during various developmental processes and stress responses in sunflower. |
