<i>KT/HAK/KUP</i> (KUP) family is responsible for potassium ion (K<sup>+</sup>) transport, which plays a vital role in the response of plants to abiotic stress by maintaining osmotic balance. However, our understanding of the functions of the KUP family in the drought-resistant crop cassava (<i>Manihot esculenta</i> Crantz) is limited. In the present study, 21 cassava <i>KUP</i> genes (<i>MeKUPs</i>) were identified and classified into four clusters based on phylogenetic relationships, conserved ...[more]
