Genome-wide identi fi cation and characterization of DCL , AGO , and RDR gene families and their abiotic stress responses in alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.)
The first genome-wide analysis of these gene families in autotetraploid alfalfa provides a theoretical foundation for future functional studies of RNA silencing pathway genes and offer valuable genetic resources for the molecular breeding of stress-resilient alfalfa.
Functional characterization demonstrated that transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing AsGRF17 displayed significantly enhanced drought tolerance compared with wild-type plants, and this study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying AsGRF17 -mediated drought tolerance in oat.
