In this study, six StSRO genes were identified and comprehensively analyzed. The distribution of StSRO genes on different chromosomes was irregular, and their promoter sequences contained cis-acting elements related to hormones and stress responses. Through transcriptome analysis and qRT-PCR analysis, it was found that StSRO genes could respond to different abiotic conditions with different expression levels.
As a highly conserved family of plant-specific proteins, SIMILAR-TO-RCD-ONE (SROs) play an essential role in plant growth, development and response to abiotic stresses. In this study, six StSRO genes were identified by searching the PARP, RST and WWE domains based on the genome-wide data of potato database DM v6.1, and they were named StSRO1-6 according to their locations on chromosomes. StSRO genes were comprehensively analyzed using bioinformatics methods. The results showed that six StSRO genes were irregularly distributed on five chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 30 SRO genes of four species were distributed in three groups, while StSRO genes were distributed in groups II and III. The promoter sequence of StSRO genes contained many cis-acting elements related to hormones and stress responses. In addition, the expression level of StSRO genes in different tissues of doubled monoploid (DM) potato, as well as under salt, drought stresses and hormone treatments, was analyzed by RNA-seq data from the online database and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. Furthermore, the expression level of StSRO genes was analyzed by transcriptome analysis under mild, moderate and severe salt stress. It was concluded that StSRO genes could respond to different abiotic conditions, but their expression level was significantly different. This study lays a foundation for further studies on the biological functions of the StSRO gene family.
