Abstract Drought stress poses a critical threat to global crop yields and sustainable agriculture. The GASA genes are recognized for their pivotal role in stress tolerance and plant growth, but little is known about how they function in sunflowers. The investigation aimed to identify and elucidate the role of HaGASA genes in conferring sunflowers with drought tolerance. Twenty-seven different HaGASA gene family members were found in this study that were inconsistently located across eleven sunflower chromosomes. Phylogeny analysis revealed that the sunflower HaGASA genes were divided into five subgroups by comparing GASA genes with those from Arabidopsis, peanut, and soybean, with members within each subgroup displaying similar conserved motifs and gene structures. In-silico evaluation of cis-regulatory elements indicated the existence of specific elements associated with stress-responsiveness being the most abundant, followed by hormone, light, and growth-responsive elements. Transcriptomic data from the NCBI database was utilized to assess the HaGASA genes expression profile in different sunflower varieties under drought conditions. The HaGASA genes expression across ten sunflower genotypes under drought stress, revealed 14 differentially expressed HaGASA genes, implying their active role in the plant’s stress response. The expression in different organs revealed that HaGASA2, HaGASA11, HaGASA17, HaGASA19, HaGASA21 and HaGASA26 displayed maximum expression in the stem. Our findings implicate HaGASA genes in mediating sunflower growth maintenance and adaptation to abiotic stress, particularly drought. The findings, taken together, provided a basic understanding of the structure and potential functions of HaGASA genes, setting the framework for further functional investigations into their roles in drought stress mitigation and crop improvement strategies. |
