摘要

A genome-wide analysis identified 12 stress-associated protein (SAP) genes in Sorghum bicolor. Phylogenetic analysis classified these genes into three clades, each with conserved zinc finger domains (ZF-A20/AN1) crucial for stress responses. Gene duplication analysis revealed two segmental and three tandem duplications under purifying selection, indicating evolutionary pressure. Phylogenetic and synteny analyses showed conservation among monocots and divergence from dicots. Promoter analysis identified cis-regulatory elements linked to abiotic stress, hormone signaling, and growth regulation, while five SbSAP genes were targeted by stress-responsive miRNAs. Transcriptome and qRT-PCR analyses demonstrated tissue-specific, developmental, and stress-specific expressions, with most SbSAP genes significantly up-regulated under cold and salinity stress, but minimally expressed under heat and drought stress, suggesting distinct regulatory mechanisms. Conserved genes, including SbSAP9, SbSAP11, SbSAP6, SbSAP7, and SbSAP12, were identified as potential key candidates for further functional analysis for stress tolerance. These findings highlight the critical roles of SbSAP genes in abiotic stress adaptation, offering insights into developing stress-resilient S. bicolor and related crops.
