Abstract
Abstract
Maize is one of the three major crops in China. And SBT (Bacillus subtilis protease like serine protease) is a serine proteolytic enzyme, which widely exists in various organisms and participates in biological growth and defense. Therefore, it is necessary to study the SBT gene of maize. In this study, we identified 59 maize SBT genes (ZmSBTs), which were divided into 6 subfamilies through phylogenetic trees and distributed unevenly on 10 chromosomes. Analysis of cis-acting elements showed that ZmSBTs contained elements for plant growth and defense. In addition, the expression pattern of transcriptome data of different maize tissues shows that different ZmSBTs are expressed differently in different tissues. We also predicted the interaction of ZmSBT1.7and ZmSBT2.5 specifically expressed in meiosis_tassels with other maize proteins through the protein interaction website, and the interaction of ZmSBT1.2specifically expressed in seeds with other maize proteins. This study provided valuable information about maize SBT gene and clarified the possible biological functions of ZmSBT1.7, ZmSBT2.5 and ZmSBT1.2.
