Pyrus (pear) is among the most nutritious fruits and contains fibers that have great health benefits to humans. It is mostly cultivated in temperate regions globally and is highly subjected to biotic and abiotic stresses which affect its yield. Pheophorbide a oxygenase (PAO) is an essential component of the chlorophyll degradation system and contributes to the senescence of leaves. It is responsible for opening the pheophorbide a porphyrin macrocycle and forming the main fluorescent chlorophyll catabolite However, this gene family and its members have not been explored in Pyrus genomes. Here we report a pangenome-wide investigation has been conducted on eight Pyrus genomes: Cuiguan, Shanxi Duli, Zhongai 1, Nijisseiki, Yunhong No.1, d’Anjou, Bartlett v2.0, and Dangshansuli v.1.1. The phylogenetic history, their gene structure, conservation patterns of motifs, their distribution on chromosomes, and gene duplication are studied in detail which shows the intraspecific structural conservation as well as evolutionary patterns of Pyrus PAOs. Cis-elements, protein–protein interactions (PPI), and the Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses show their potential biological functions. Furthermore, their expression in various tissues, fruit hardening conditions, and drought stress conditions is also studied. Based on phylogenetics, the identified PAOs were divided into four groups. The expansion of this gene family in Pyrus is caused by both tandem and segmental duplication. Moreover, positive and negative selection pressure equally directed the gene’s duplication process. The Pyrus PAO genes were enriched in hormones-related, light, development, and stress-related elements. RNA-seq data analysis showed that PAOs have varied levels of expression under diseased and abiotic stress conditions. The 3D structures of PAOs are also predicted to get more insights into functional conservation. Our research can be used further to get a deeper knowledge of the PAO gene family in Pyrus and to guide future research on improving the genetic composition of Pyrus to enhance stress tolerance.

In the genomics of plants and the phytoecosystem, Pyrus (pear) is among the most nutritious fruits and contains fiber that has great health benefits to humans. It is mostly cultivated in temperate regions and is one of the most cultivated pome fruits globally. Pears are highly subjected to biotic and abiotic stresses that affect their yield. TIR1/AFB proteins act as auxin co-receptors during the signaling of nuclear auxins and play a primary role in development-related regulatory processes and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, this gene family and its members have not been explored in Pyrus genomes, and understanding these genes will help obtain useful insights into stress tolerance and ultimately help maintain a high yield of pears. This study reports a pangenome-wide investigation of TIR1/AFB genes from eight Pyrus genomes: Cuiguan (Pyrus pyrifolia), Shanxi Duli (P. betulifolia), Zhongai 1 [(P. ussuriensis × communis) × spp.], Nijisseiki (P. pyrifolia), Yunhong No.1 (P. pyrifolia), d’Anjou (P. communis), Bartlett v2.0 (P. communis), and Dangshansuli v.1.1 (P. bretschneideri). These genes were randomly distributed on 17 chromosomes in each genome. Based on phylogenetics, the identified TIR1/AFB genes were divided into six groups. Their gene structure and motif pattern showed the intraspecific structural conservation as well as evolutionary patterns of Pyrus TIR1/AFBs. The expansion of this gene family in Pyrus is mainly caused by segmental duplication; however, a few genes showed tandem duplication. Moreover, positive and negative selection pressure equally directed the gene’s duplication process. The GO and PPI analysis showed that Pyrus TIR1/AFB genes are associated with abiotic stress- and development-related signaling pathways. The promoter regions of Pyrus TIR1/AFB genes were enriched in hormone-, light-, development-, and stress-related cis elements. Furthermore, publicly available RNA-seq data analysis showed that DaTIR1/AFBs have varied levels of expression in various tissues and developmental stages, fruit hardening disease conditions, and drought stress conditions. This indicated that DaTIR1/AFB genes might play critical roles in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. The DaTIR1/AFBs have similar protein structures, which show that they are involved in the same function. Hence, this study will broaden our knowledge of the TIR1/AFB gene family in Pyrus, elucidating their contribution to conferring resistance against various environmental stresses, and will also provide valuable insights for future researchers.

The two-component system (TCS) gene family is among the most important signal transduction families in plants and is involved in the regulation of various abiotic stresses, cell growth and division. To understand the role of TCS genes in mango (Mangifera indica), a comprehensive analysis of TCS gene family was carried out in mango leading to identification of 65 MiTCS genes. Phylogenetic analysis divided MiTCSs into three groups (histidine kinases, histidine-containing phosphotransfer proteins, and response regulators) and 11 subgroups. One tandem duplication and 23 pairs of segmental duplicates were found within the MiTCSs. Promoter analysis revealed that MiTCSs contain a large number of cis-elements associated with environmental stresses, hormone response, light signalling, and plant development. Gene ontology analysis showed their involvement in various biological processes and molecular functions, particularly signal transduction. Protein–protein interaction analysis showed that MiTCS proteins interacted with each other. The expression pattern in various tissues and under many stresses (drought, cold, and disease) showed that expression levels varied among various genes in different conditions. MiTCSs 3D structure predictions showed structural conservation among members of the same groups. This information can be further used to develop improved cultivars and will serve as a foundation for gaining more functional insights into the TCS gene family.
