| Summary: | The wall-associated kinase family contributes to plant cell elongation and pathogen recognition. Nine Cruciferous species were studied for identification and molecular evolution of the <i>WAK</i> gene family. Firstly, 178 <i>WAK</i> genes were identified. A phylogenetic tree was constructed of the Cruciferous <i>WAK</i> proteins into four categories, of which the <i>Brassica rapa</i>, <i>Brassica oleracea</i> and <i>Brassica napus</i> genes in the U’s triangle were more closely related. The <i>WAK</i> gene family was unevenly distributed in <i>B. napus</i> chromosomal imaging, with the largest number of <i>BnWAK</i> genes located on chromosome C08. In the expression analysis, the expression patterns of the <i>WAK</i> gene family varied under different stress treatments, and some members of <i>BnWAK</i>s were significantly different under stress treatments. This study lays a foundation for further revealing the functional mechanisms of the <i>WAK</i> gene family in <i>Brassica napus</i>. |
