Genome-Wide Analysis of the Multidrug and Toxic Compound Extrusion Gene Family in the Tea Plant

The multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family is the latest class of novel secondary transporters discovered in plants. However, there is currently no comprehensive analysis of the <i>MATE</i> gene family in the tea plant. In this study, 68 <i>CsMATE</i> genes were...

description The multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family is the latest class of novel secondary transporters discovered in plants. However, there is currently no comprehensive analysis of the <i>MATE</i> gene family in the tea plant. In this study, 68 <i>CsMATE</i> genes were identified from the tea plant genome using bioinformatic methods. In general, we analyzed the evolutionary relationships, intron–exon structure, distribution in chromosomes, conserved domains, and gene expression patterns in different tissues and stresses of the <i>CsMATE</i> gene family. The 68 CsMATEs were phylogenetically divided into four major clusters (Class I to Class IV). The <i>CsMATE</i> genes within the same class exhibit similar structural features, while displaying certain distinctions across different classes. Evolutionary analysis indicated that the <i>CsMATE</i> gene family expanded mainly through gene duplication events, in addition to proximal duplication. Through the analysis of <i>cis</i>-acting elements, it was found that <i>CsMATE</i> genes may be involved in the growth, development, and stress response. Furthermore, we observed that certain <i>CsMATE</i> genes could be induced to exhibit expression under abiotic stress conditions such as low temperature, high salinity (NaCl), osmotic stress (PEG), and methyl jasmonate treatment (MeJA). The findings presented herein offer a crucial theoretical foundation for elucidating the biological functions of <i>CsMATE</i> genes, particularly in response to abiotic stress, and furnish valuable potential genetic resources for tea plant resistance breeding.
