Genome-wide analysis of the pectin acetylesterase (PAE) gene family in tomato and SlPAE16 functional characterization associated with pedicel abscission.
The identified SlPAE genes were classified phylogenetically into three conserved subfamilies, with branch members sharing domain architectures, motifs, and genomic structure, providing a much-needed framework for future research into their specific biological roles in tomatoes.
