Genome wide characterization, evolution and expression analysis of FBA gene family under salt stress in Gossypium species

Abiotic stress is an important bottleneck in crop yield around the world. The main purpose of this study is to describe the function and expression patterns of Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate Aldolase (FBA) gene family in Gossypium species under salt stress. FBA genes are implicated in plant growth and development as well as salt stress tolerance. In this study, 19 FBA genes were found in G. hirsutum, while 9 genes each in case of G. arboreum and G....
