Dehydrins (DHNs) define a complex group of stress inducible proteins characterized by the presence of one or more lysine-rich motifs. DHNs are present in multiple copies in the genome of plant species. Although genome-wide analysis of DHNs composition and chromosomal distribution has been conducted in herbaceous species, it remains unexplored in woody plants. Here, we report on the identification of ten genes encoding eleven putative DHN polypeptides in Populus. We document that DHN genes occur as duplicated blocks distributed over seven of the 19 poplar chromosomes likely as a result of segmental and tandem duplication events. Based on conserved motifs, poplar DHNs were assigned to four subgroups with the K-n subgroup being the most frequent. One putative DHN polypeptide (PtrDHN-10) with a SKS arrangement could originate from a recombination between SKn and KnS genes. In silico analysis of microarray data showed that in unstressed poplar, DHN genes are expressed in all vegetative tissues except for mature leaves. This exhaustive survey of DHN genes in poplar provides important information that will assist future studies on their functional role in poplar.
