The functional characterization of PR10 proteins has been extensively studied in many plant species. However, little is known about the role of TdPR10 in the response of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) to stress. In this study, we identified members of the T. durum PR10 family, which are divided into three major subfamilies based on phylogenetic analyses. The analysis revealed that tandem duplication was the primary driver of the expansion of the T. durum PR10 gene family. Additionally, gene structure and motif analyses showed that PR10 family genes were relatively conserved during evolution. We also identified several cis-regulatory elements in the TdPR10 promoter regions related not only to abiotic and biotic stress but also to phytohormonal responses. In response to abiotic stresses and phytohormones, several TdPR10 genes were highly expressed in the leaves and roots of durum wheat. Moreover, TdPR10.1 family members improve RNase activity, increase LDH protective activity under abiotic stress conditions, and ensure resistance to fungi in vitro. Collectively, these findings provide a basis for further functional studies of TdPR10 genes, which could be leveraged to enhance stress tolerance in durum wheat. |
