Genome-wide identification of key genes related to chloride ion (Cl−) channels and transporters in response to salt stress in birch
A total of 149 genes related to Cl<sup>-</sup> channels and transporters were identified from the birch genome. We proposed BpCLCa/b, BpDTX45, and BpDTX18/19 as ion channels or transporters in controlling ionic homeostasis during salt stress response. The findings of our study can provide valuable resources for genetic improvement of salt-tolerant birch varieties for high-quality plantation forests in harsh environments.
