The SnRK2 gene family is a group of plant-specific protein kinases that has been implicated in ABA and abiotic stress signaling. We found 11 SnRK2s in maize, assigned names from ZmSnRK2.1 to ZmSnRK2.11 and cloned ten of them. By analyzing the gene structure of all the SnRK2s from Arabidopsis, rice, and maize, we found seven exons that were conserved in length among most of the SnRK2s. Although the C-terminus was divergent, we found seven conserved motifs. Of these, motif 1 was common to all of…

Identification and expression profile analysis of the SnRK2 gene family in cucumber

Protein interaction prediction showed that multiple CsSnRK2 proteins interacted with four proteins including protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C), and it is speculated that the Cs SnRK 2 genes may also an independent role as a third messenger in the ABA signaling pathway.

Comprehensive Analysis of SnRK Gene Family and their Responses to Salt Stress in Eucalyptus grandis

Genome-wide analyses and expression pattern analyses provided further understanding on the function of the SnRK family in the stress response to different environmental salt concentrations and suggested that the EgrSnK gene family underwent a purifying selection.

Identification and expression analysis of the CqSnRK2 gene family and a functional study of the CqSnRK2.12 gene in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.)

Transcription data analysis and qRT-PCR results showed that CqSnRK2 has different expression patterns in roots, stems, and leaves, and responded to biotic and abiotic stresses such as low temperature, salt, drought, and abscisic acid (ABA).

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Profile Analysis of the SnRK2 Gene Family in Nicotiana tabacum

Gene expression pattern analysis revealed that NtSnRK2 genes played a role in the responses to several abiotic stresses (salt, drought, and low-temperature stress), indicating that they are widely involved in the adaptation of tobacco to adverse environmental conditions.

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the GmSnRK 2 Family in Soybean

Sucrose non-fermenting-1 (SNF1)-related protein kinase 2s (SnRK2s) that were reported to be involved in the transduction of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, play important roles in response to biotic…

Genomic Characterization and Expression Analysis of the SnRK Family Genes in Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo (Orchidaceae)

The transcript levels of DoSnRK genes after drought, MeJA, and ABA treatments were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR and showed that most DoSnK genes could respond to these stresses.

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the GmSnRK2 Family in Soybean

The results of RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data for different soybean tissues showed that GmSnRK2s exhibited spatio-temporally specific expression patterns during soybean growth and development that could respond to the treatments including salinity, ABA and strigolactones.

Isolation and characterisation of a diverse family of Arabidopsis two and three-fingered C2H2 zinc finger protein genes and cDNAs

This is the first report of the isolation of a three-fingered plant C2H2ZFP gene and it is discussed its possible evolutionary origin from two-fingerered ZFP genes.

Differential Activation of the Rice Sucrose Nonfermenting1–Related Protein Kinase2 Family by Hyperosmotic Stress and Abscisic Acid

The results indicated that the SnRK2 protein kinase family has evolved specifically for hyperosmotic stress signaling and that individual members have acquired distinct regulatory properties, including ABA responsiveness by modifying the C-terminal domain.

Patterns of expansion and expression divergence in the plant polygalacturonase gene family

These findings suggest that PG duplicates underwent rapid expression divergence and that the mechanisms of duplication affect the divergence rate, and suggest specialized roles or subfunctionalization for each PG gene member.

The Genomes of Oryza sativa: A History of Duplications

A more inclusive new approach for analyzing duplication history is introduced here, which reveals an ancient whole-genome duplication, a recent segmental duplication on Chromosomes 11 and 12, and massive ongoing individual gene duplications.

SNF1-related protein kinases: global regulators of carbon metabolism in plants?

From the yeast and animal studies described in more detail below, the concept is emerging that the SNF1 family protect cells against nutritional or environmental stresses, particularly those which compromise cellular energy status, by regulating both metabolism and gene expression.
