BACKGROUND: As a major global food crop, wheat faces dual pressures from population growth and deteriorating agricultural environments in efforts to increase its yield. The members of the FIG superfamily are associated with photosynthetic carbon metabolism and stress-responsive pathways in plants.
RESULTS: In this study, we conducted the first systematic pan-genomic analysis to investigate the evolution and function of the FIG superfamily in wheat. The results revealed that this family underwent significant expansion during plant evolution from aquatic to terrestrial habitats and from lower to higher forms, with functional divergence apparently predating the green algal stage as inferred from phylogenetic patterns. The members of this family were primarily derived from three ancestral species, and their expansion was largely driven by whole-genome duplication. Most members were found to be under purifying selection, whereas the TaVTC4-4B was subjected to positive selection. This gene is constitutively highly expressed in green tissues, and its promoter is enriched with cis-regulatory elements associated with light responsiveness, JA/ABA signaling, and stress responses. Expression analysis indicated its strong responsiveness to salt stresses.
CONCLUSIONS: This study elucidates the evolutionary trajectory and functional landscape of the wheat FIG superfamily, laying a theoretical foundation for the potential genetic improvement of photosynthetic efficiency and stress resilience in wheat.
