Genome-Wide Identification and Molecular Evolution of the Magnesium Transporter (MGT) Gene Family in Citrullus lanatus and Cucumis sativus

Magnesium transporters (MGTs) play a prominent role in the absorption, transportation, and storage of magnesium plant cells. In present study, MGT gene family members were identified characterized into two species Cucurbitaceae, including Cucumis sativus Citrullus lanatus. Totals 20 19 genes recognized lanatus sativus, respectively. According to their physicochemical properties, each sub-class MGTs Cucurbitaceae showed close relationship. Proteins from NIPA class as hydrophilic proteins with high stability. Based on phylogenetic analysis, classified three groups, NIPAs more diversity. Moreover, duplication events not between C. sativus. pocket residues such L, V, S, I, A frequently observed binding sites both studied species. The prediction post-translation modifications revealed that MSR2 have higher phosphorylation potentials than other sub-classes plants. expression profile are expressed root tissues. addition, differential response abiotic/biotic stresses well hormone application induced stimuli watermelon. results this primary work family, can be used programs related breeding.
