proteins, which are involved in the normal growth and development processes of
plants, also play a protective role against abiotic stresses such as salt
stress and drought. Although the <span style="font-size:9pt;">LEA gene
family has been identified in many plants to date, no comprehensive study of
the characterization of LEA-encoding genes in the jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) genome have been performed. As being the
best-known member of Rhamnaceae family, jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is grown in Turkey as well as shows
distribution especially in subtropical and tropical regions of the world.
Jujube, containing high amounts of vitamin C and sugar; has economical and
biological importance with anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects. In this
study, it was aimed to define and characterize LEA genes in jujube genome in detail by using bioinformatics tools.
The results of the study will provide comprehensive data about the LEA </span> gene family and will present
preliminary information for the functional research of jujube LEA proteins. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Kastamonu Üniversitesi}
