- Method / resource The oat genome contains 118 GST genes in five subfamilies.
- Observation Oat GST categories were significantly similar to counterparts in Arabidopsis and rice.
- Observation AsGST genes within a subfamily shared exon and intron number and position and motif composition.
- Mechanism The authors suggested within-subfamily GST genes may have analogous biological functions.
- Observation Promoters of identified oat GST genes were enriched in cis-acting elements associated with growth, stress, and hormone signaling.
- Intervention effect Four oat GST genes were significantly up-regulated in roots under PEG-induced drought stress.
- Intervention effect Four oat GST genes were significantly up-regulated in roots under CdCl2-induced cadmium stress.
- Mechanism The authors proposed that the four GST genes regulate ROS levels through glutathione-dependent scavenging.
- Mechanism The authors proposed that these genes mitigate cadmium toxicity through glutathione-mediated chelation and sequestration or compartmentalization.
