Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation A total of 174 POD genes were identified in the Saccharum officinarum genome.
- Mechanism Family expansion was assumed to result mainly from whole-genome/segmental duplications, accounting for 83.90%.
- Observation Ka/Ks was below 1 in 94.74% of SoPOD gene pairs.
- Observation SoPOD promoters were enriched in stress- and hormone-related cis-regulatory elements.
- Observation SoPOD expression is tissue-specific and responsive to cold, drought, and S. scitamineum infection.
- Association SoPOD30 was upregulated only in the resistant cultivar after infection and was undetectable in the susceptible one.
- Observation ScPOD01 was induced by S. scitamineum infection across all eight cultivars.
- Observation ScPOD01 was induced under abscisic acid, methyl jasmonate, hydrogen peroxide, polyethylene glycol, and sodium chloride treatments.
- Observation ScPOD01 has a canonical four-exon/three-intron gene structure and is localized to the plasma membrane.
- Intervention effect Transient expression of ScPOD01 in Nicotiana benthamiana activated immune responses, with intensified DAB staining and upregulated hypersensitive reaction- and SA-related genes.
- Intervention effect Prokaryotic expression of ScPOD01 did not enhance bacterial stress tolerance.
