description This study aimed to explore the role of the <i>trehalose-6-phosphate synthase</i> (<i>TPS</i>) gene family in the adaptation of peas to environmental stress. A comprehensive analysis of the <i>PsTPS</i> gene family identified 20 genes with conserved domains and specific chromosomal locations. Phylogenetic analysis delineated evolutionary relationships, while gene structure analysis revealed compositional insights, and motif analysis provided functional insights. Cis-regulatory element identification predicted gene regulation patterns. Tissue-specific and stress-induced expression profiling highlighted eight genes with ubiquitous expression, with <i>PsTPS15</i> and <i>PsTPS18</i> displaying elevated expression levels in roots, nodules, and young stems, and <i>PsTPS13</i> and <i>PsTPS19</i> expression downregulated in seeds. Transcriptome analysis identified a differential expression of 20 <i>PsTPS</i> genes, highlighting the significance of 14 genes in response to drought and salinity stress. Notably, under drought conditions, the expression of <i>PsTPS4</i> and <i>PsTPS6</i> was initially upregulated and then downregulated, whereas that of <i>PsTPS15</i> and <i>PsTPS19</i> was downregulated. Salinity stress notably altered the expression of <i>PsTPS4</i>, <i>PsTPS6</i>, and <i>PsTPS19</i>. Taken together, these findings elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of the <i>PsTPS</i> gene family and their potential as genetic targets for enhancing crop stress tolerance.
